I have to log back in to double check but I believe all "lightning" skills, including staff. Please correct me I recall the wording wrong. In another thread asking this we did determine the stick does turn people to ashes.

Surge does no additional damage. It's a buff. You don't do any shock damage with surge empowered hits, so it doesn't trigger the passive.
Just slot thundering presence. It's kind of a weak passive, since nobody wants to rely on a 10% chance to instantly kill low health targets as those low health targets are dying quick anyways due to executes like whirlwind or mage's wrath.
Why are you having shard on a bow setup? the only instant proc chance comes from renewing surge every 20ish seconds, which is not remotely worth it for a 35% chance.
I can confirm it also works with lightning enchants after the initial burst of dmg from a skill. For instance if one of my attack puts my target at 25% health or bellow, and my enchant occures after the initial hit, I still have 10% chance to disintegrate it.

Yeah, but between surge and encase he's not getting that many casts considering the cost of running both. Especially with the reduced magicka from running twilight.
