wouldn't it be better to use a wand?

Wand+Offhand is normally just a 2~7 energy difference. While I can see it making somewhat of a difference, I take the staff just because I am lazy.

If you want the Wand Offhand combos:
Gordac Combo for blood:

Then there's the Villinar combo for blood:

AND I forgot that if you are on a budget, just get a Wayward Wand/Straw Effigy combo for your Necro profession.
Then there's the Collector combos, but I don't want to do extensive research to the items you need and mods you gotta buy to replicate these greens.

Depends on your build. Even if you know what attributes you're gonna use, it depends on the skills. Often times I take 20% speed on both a wand and an off-hand with certain MM builds, because I far more value faster casting than recharge (5s recharge, hello) when I run these builds. Other times I will choose to Taint, or to run Orders and then a 5nrg, 20% ench spear (yea, spear, the swords and axes are outdated :-p) would be ideal. If you do Curses often times a balance between fast casting and fast recharge is advised but not always, sometimes one or the other simply dont matter.

My advice: decide what you are gonna run, make the build, and then choose the weapon. I have about 10 weapons for my Necro (staves, wands, off-hands) and I use them all.

Add Zealous to that and you got a good combat spear for casters. (Course you mentioned running for that particular combo, I just felt like mentioning this.)
