A generally good rule of thumb is that woodsman staff is better until one or some combination of the following things takes place:
-you have extremely high end 1hander weapons (prior to level 40)
-you acquire weapon ratios comparable to ranger epics in your early 50s
-you are 46+ and have actual epics (or at least swiftwind for superior haste and have otherwise crap worn haste)
-you have decent 1hander weapons and are creeping closer to 60 where damage bonus is more relevant for fast weapon superiority
If and when the final patch with 2hand dmg bonus hits, everything is going to shift.
Woodsman staff is cost effective and very solid for a wide range of levels. Where it drops off is entirely dependent on what worn haste you have and the quality of 1hander stuff you have available to you. If epic is easily within reach, for example, superior haste and a rock solid ratio shifts the balance to dual wield.
Prior to velious woodsman was the way to go until epics. Velious hit later and there are more high quality haste items and more readily available 1handers with solid ratios.

Well, would you say I fall under the first category? having 11/18 and 12/20 w/ 54% haste (Seahorse belt + PLunder patch)
