Heh heh... you said rods.

While this could work with some of the elemental powers, I don't think it will fly well for AR and Archery, although I do get a funny visual of using a staff for Dual Pistols (and no, I would NEVER abbreviate in that context).
With regards to that... I can't support throwing extra art resources into new animations for existing powers, and can't conceive a workable blaster secondary based on staff use. Please feel free to write one up and I'd be glad to submit an opinion.
Otherwise, I'm all for a melee staff/polearm set, especially if it shows the level of animation we've seen in recent new sets. It might even give Valkyrie something to do with that useless thing she keeps strapped to her back.

Thanks, Sailor, for making sense of my OP. 
I didn't really look at the staff for blasters as a new animation for existing powers however. It could be a new blaster maybe, like magic or water, something to mix it up even more. Also, good point on the Valkyrie referance! Oh one more thing, Dual Pistols staff would be quite teh funny! lmao

Ok....... but I request that all said toons have random DE ambushes screaming bloody revenge for their fallen brethren....... and if you lose even one of those ambushes, you lose your staff.

Blast enemies from a distance for blasters, corruptors, dominators, and defenders. Use the staff as a melee weapon for all the melee archetypes. Use it to create defensive auras for protection. There's so many applications for the powerset! If anyone agrees, or disagrees, I insist for you to leave a reply letting the Devs know that we'd love it!

Meh, the staff's had no relation to the DE they were forged out of magic?
Great idea!
Staff for blasters/corrupters could just be a visual thing. I does not matter if its a laser in a cane or an eldritch staff of power. Blasters and other shooting archtypes could have it as an costume option.
Staff for Scrappers would be awesome! You could have all kind of cool animations and moves. Throwing people around, multi hits and heavy blows.
