Alright, I finally had time to sit down and run more tests on whether or not the condition of a staff directly effects whether or not you get the focus bonus from it.
Constants in the test.
Target: 50th level warden with 25% heat resists.
Tester: 50th level enchantress, 45+6 light, 145 intelligence.

Results.
Test number one: Using no staff at all, I was able to cast the level 45 light spec DD (Insidious Rapture) a total of 11 times, before I got the " You don't have enough power to cast that!" messaage.
Test number two: Using my 70% condition Traldors oracle, I was able to cast the level 45 light spec DD(Insidious Rapture) a total of 16 times, before I got the " You don't have enough power to cast that!" message.
Test number three: Using my 100% condition, brand new Staff of the Gods, I was able to cast the level 45 light spec DD (Insidious Rapture) a total of 17 times, before I got the " You don't have enough power to cast that!" message.
Conclusion:
The condition of your staff doesn't effect the bonus of focus you are granted from having the staff equipped. You may look at the two logs of comparing staffs, and say " well he lost 1 cast between them, must be focus". I believe that I didn't regen enough power to actually cast that final time, so I might have only been missing 2-3 power. Also, Traldors has a 5% chance not to use power when casting a spell. I got lucky with my first test and every spell used power, otherwise I would have had to restart the traldor test.
This information alone proves nothing. However, when you add this information to the information of my other test, I believe that it proves without a shadow of a doubt, that a 70% condition staff is as good as a 100% condition staff, as far as focus bonus goes.
Thank you for reading this extremely long post.
Edit one was for spelling.
Edit two: I would also like to thank my test mules Molarrael a warden on igraine, and Perm a bard on igraine, for being my target and my designated healer for the target.
