I would have assumed with damage bonus, the 20dly would be better than 30dly. I'd have guessed the advantage of tstaff is it is a better tanking weapon (aggro proc and fewer ripostes), but RSF is a better DPS weapon.

This is true in Kunark where 2-handed weapons get the same damage bonus regardless of delay (17 at level 60). This is what makes RFS better than T-Staff, but only in Kunark.

In Velious, the RFS basically gets nerfed since the 2-handed damage bonus is a function of weapon delay. RFS (19/20) has the 1-handed damage bonus (11) since it has a delay <30. T-Staff keeps it's 2-handed damage bonus (17) since it's between 30-40 delay. Damage bonuses might not seem like a lot of damage, but they're unmitigated set damage regardless of mob level and defense, so it adds up.

Adamantine Club / SoS is your best bet for damage with T-Staff for tanking.
