Best base staff for physical staffer?

Hello~ Currently running a semi-self found staffer build and am wondering what would be the best base staff to attempt to roll the best %age physical on. i also have a few questions about crafting.

Granite recipe, worth the time and granites?

Rustic sash recipe over alteration rolling?

What are the top 5 stats I am looking for on a physical weapon, i know %age phys, flat phys, and attack speed, thats about it.
I would try to craft a lathi, its the best phys dps you can get from staff

this would be the mods to look after:

Highest level char in Closed Beta, Wytchfindergeneral
Chance a Hegemony's staff (Judgement Staff).
Don't try to craft unless you are ludicrously rich (several hundreds of exalts).

If you were to try to craft, the Maelstrom Staff (18% block base) is generally the best despite having lower dps. An extra 6% block is invaluable.

Looking at standard, the two real options are:
- Gale Song Maelstrom Staff (18% block, 752 dps (1.4 base aspd), 9.21 base crit, 37 multi, +130 acc)
- Onslaught Song Lathi (12% block, 815 dps (1.59 base aspd), 9.01 base crit, 37 multi, +103 acc)

For the most part, im trying to roll something a tad bit better than my current staff

So overall it'd be cheaper to farm the currency or chance an era? instead of trying to craft one from scratch.

Hegemony's Staff is just under 500dps with +1 power charge, 18% block, and free power charge generation.

The best part of chancing for it is that you might accidentally get a Pledge of Hands from the same base, which is also fantastic.

The expected cost of chancing << the expected cost of crafting for 500 dps with et/ex.
