Warden staves question

I am gearing my magicka warden up with some basic stuff.
I went with fire/infused and lightning/nirnhoded staves, but can't figure out the enchants. I looked at Alcast's builds, but he is using some special staves there, so I kind of assume those enchants might not be entirely relevant to basic crafted sets.
What do you think?

    IMO the best setup would be infused back bar with weapon/spell damage enchant and nirnhoned front bar with shock or flame enchant. Personally on a magden I would use flame staff front bar because Birds and light attacks do most of your damage but unless you're raiding it's generally not a big deal.

    Wouldn't Fetch. Infection make up a large portion of your damage on a maden?

    Here's a video of one of the better Magden PvE builds out there atm. Last 10 seconds contains the fight recap from a trial parse.

    In the end I just figured it didn't matter anyway, because I am unable to reliably get even 20k dps on a sorc, so it would be even worse with a warden, and made me fire infused staff with shock enchantment as a front one, and nirnhoded lightning staff with +damage for the backbar.

    This whole Infused on the Back Bar and something else on the front bar means you have to swap weapons every 5 seconds to keep up the Weapon Damage Buff. I know there are players who swap like the dickens, I am not one of them. I am sure I am leaving some DPS on the killing floor, but it can't be all that much in the scheme of things.

    I put infused on both sticks, with a Weapon Damage glyph, and then it does not matter when I swap bars.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    You're not seeing this correctly.
    Even though infused reduces the cooldown to 5s, doesn't mean you must swap every 5s. A 9s cooldown on the other hand is way too long. You will probably swap every 7s though.

    Yea, an extra 2 seconds makes this so so much better.......
