1.) Keeper has splash damage.

4.) Keeper staff greatly improves your spells damage.

That is why the damage per second difference between the two staffs is in the thousands.

Also Use all cyber armor with keeper staff. Keeper staff is still better then cyber bonus, but doll is pretty good for increasing ao3 survivability.
I think the Mirage Staff + Cosmos Set might just do it for boss battles, though. It has a little extra survivability, and the bonuses are pretty appealing. AoE Spell Damage and splash damage make no difference. Still, it's nice to know I won't need to miss my awesome little Keeper's Staff.
