Ilvl weapon question for resto shaman

Might be an obvious answer but looking for confirmation. I have been gearing up my RSham for the past week getting it ready for raids and M+. I have currently a MH and shield both 571 but I looted a 603 staff in delves that has good stats as well. Should I equip the staff cause it’s high ilvl at the moment? And when I find a shield and MH equal ilvl to the staff I can switch to that?

Definitely use the staff. In PvE the armor and block from the shield won’t be missed 99% of the time because mobs shouldn’t be meleeing you. In delves if you’re solo then maybe you will notice the difference but 30 ilvl jump on a weapon is way more important.

You will also miss out on shield only imbues such as the imbue from totemic but just pick the other choice node, again 30 ilvl on weapon especially with good secondary stats is far better than that imbue.
