Is this for PVE or PVP?
In PVE, you have to use staves if you want to run trials and most vet dungeons. There's just no way you'll be able to deal enough damage without them.
In PVP, DW/S&B is great for magDKs. But I wouldn't run Arch-Mage -- you get plenty of sustain from other sources. There are a number of excellent DW/S&B (or even double S&B) PVP magDK builds floating around youtube. And you want to run Blood Spawn, Skoria, Grothdarr, or Zaan for your head/shoulder slots.

im kinda new, what are these other sources? because i thought the whole issue of having a magdk Dw/S&B was the magicka sustain.
i think OP is looking rather for pve stuff....
in pvp as stated, dual wield and snb are totally fine, but for pve staves are mandatory to enable some really great skills. also sustain wise and for adding dps by weaving staves are far superior in pve compared to dual wield
I want a PvP focused build.
