Alright so assuming 7x gear for everything (7x runestaff, 7x shield for open handed, 7x weapon & 7x shield) which would have the most offensive and defensive DS and bolt DS under level 100? Which would have the least?
Do things change post cap if you have, say 16+ magical ranks per level?

Not enough information.
Character level?
Shield ranks?
Shield size?
Weapon ranks?
Does the open hand shield user have any brawl ranks
Magic ranks per level?
Dodge ranks?
Stats?
etc.

I don't know the fancy math, but I took these swings when I was deciding if I wanted to switch to shield/brawl or stick with runestaff. It's a 10x medium shield vs a 5x runestaff though. I chose to stick with runestaff, and I know the guarded DS is actually 845 now, and I assume shield would be unchanged. That's one thing I like about runestaff...at least your numbers still go up. I also have 1x dodge in all of these swings.

I was curious if at any point runestaff is better than brawl/shield. I always heard brawl/shield was better but not sure if they've changed things the past few years or if brawl/shield was just preferred because they don't have to worry about being disarmed with a runestaff.
But I'm talking about a pure so shield and weapon rank would be singled, shield size would be tower, open handed caster has brawling ranks, let's say 12 magic ranks per level, no dodge, just for simplicity's sake let's say 100/25 bonus in every stat.
Morph those are some nice numbers for a runestaff. I'm also curious how your spells looked at the time, also how many magic ranks/level does that end up being?
The biggest thing I remember hearing is that brawl/shield users have much better bolt DS, is that true or not?

Two other factors that are important are:
What stance are you interested in?
What type of DS do you care about? Physical? Ranged? Spells?

I'm interested in offense and guarded stances and I'd like to know all three actually, physical ranged and bolt DS.

So with about 17 magical ranks per level your runestaff was providing 50 more DS in defensive stance compared to open hand/shield and in offensive stance the open hand/shield provided 7 more DS. So I guess unless you have a whole shit load of magical ranks brawl/shield will be better in offensive stance and you still need quite a bit of magical ranks per level for runestaff DS to be better in defensive stance.
Also I thought you needed an open hand to use runestaves properly? You can use a runestaff and a shield?

Yeah I am really just doing what I said and copy/pasting to get different numbers. I will go through guarded, and finish thrown and then throw some bolts. Its just not really possible to do it from work. I will update my previous post and let you know when those numbers have been added.

I too would love to see the skills behind that, and as I mentioned before, how many (if any) outside spells.
I thought runestaves had a higher bolt DS? But shields had higher ranged DS.

I put this together and was hurried so I didn't feel like spending all my time running my spell up scripts:
4x double leathers and 5x runestaff for the gear no major trinkets this is just me in my group.

Offensive:

DS: +677
Against physical attacks a runestaff is better in guarded stance but shield/brawl are about equal in offense stance.
Thrown DS the runestaff is better in guarded stance but shield/brawl has a slight advantage in offense stance.
Bolt DS the runestaff has a slight advantage in guarded stance but the shield is better in offense stance.
Of course this is all with over 18 magical ranks per level so before cap unless you are doing some serious sacrificing you're probably better off with shield/brawl in all situations anyway.
The thing that surprised me the most is runestaff/shield was the best combo. I could have sworn if you hold something in your left hand while holding a runestaff it affected your DS from the runestaff? Is that true and Buckwheet's character just has so many shield/magical ranks that it doesn't matter?

Is that true and Buckwheet's character just has so many shield/magical ranks that it doesn't matter?
There is no DS difference vs ranged attacks (bolts, arrows, thrown). That is, in the absence of spells, DS vs each type of ranged attack has the same value.
Example from the data provided:
Thrown runestaff DS (DEF) = +703
Bolt runestaff DS (DEF) = +768
These two values have a difference of 65. This difference comes from spells 101 (+10 bolt DS only), 107 (+25 bolt DS only) and 219 (+30 bolt DS only). Without those active spells, the DS would be +703 for both bolt and thrown. And this doesn't just apply to runestaves. If you were holding a shield with an empty right hand you would see similar results. If the DS vs a bolt spell was +550, it would also be +550 vs an arrow or thrown weapon.
Dodge DS and the shield penalty -
The character has a dodge base of 121 (39 dodge ranks + 20 ranks from 911 + 20 ranks from 618 + 35 from AGI bonus + 7 from INT bonus). I'll leave out the armor hindrance value for the calculations. Medium shield has a 30% penalty so the shield modifier is 0.70
Dodge Formula vs Melee:
Base Value * Armor Hindrance * Shield Penalty Modifier * Stance Modifier = Dodge DS
This first set calculates Dodge DS only.
1. Offensive w/shield:
(121 * 0.70 * 0.75) = 63
1a. Offensive w/o shield:
(121 * 0.75) = 90
2. Guarded w/shield:
(121 * 0.70 * 0.95) = 79
2a. Guarded w/o shield:
(121 * 0.95) = 114
3. Defensive w/shield:
(121 * 0.70 * 1.00) = 84
3a. Defensive w/o shield:
(121 * 1.00) = 121
The runestaff penalty for holding an item in the off-hand is equal to the one hand parry DS portion of the formula. You still receive the runestaff enchant bonus and the parry stance bonus.
Runestaff Parry DS formula vs Melee
[((10 + weapon ranks + STR/4 + DEX/4) * (stance mod)) * (1.5)] + enchant bonus + stance bonus
Note: Parry DS stance bonuses are: 0 OFF, 10 ADV, 20 FOR, 30 NEU, 40 GUA, 50 DEF.
First you need to convert 'magic ranks per level' into weapon ranks. The 18 ranks per level converts to approximately 165 weapon ranks. I forget if ranks 16/17/18 are valued at (level * 0.05) or (level * 0.025). I'll use the higher value. At cap, 15 ranks per level converts to 150 weapon ranks, plus you also receive 10 bonus ranks. Increasing it to 18 ranks per level will only add, at most, 15 addition weapon ranks. The DS increase from those ranks is pretty small. In defensive stance it's ~15 additional DS.
This set is runestaff DS only.
1. Offensive w/ empty left hand and 5x runestaff:
[((10 + 165 + 3 + 10) * (0.20)) * 1.50] + 25 + 0 = 80
1a. Offensive w/shield in left hand:
80 - ((10 + 165 + 3 + 10) * (0.20)) = 43
2. Guarded w/empty left hand:
[((10 + 165 + 3 + 10) * (0.6)) * 1.50] + 25 + 40 = 233
2a. Guarded w/shield in left hand:
233 - ((10 + 165 + 3 + 10) * (0.60)) = 121
3. Defensive w/empty left hand:
[((10 + 165 + 3 + 10) * (0.7)) * 1.50] + 25 + 50 = 271
1a. Defensive w/shield in left hand:
271 - ((10 + 165 + 3 + 10) * (0.70)) = 140
Shield DS formula vs Melee:
[(Ranks + STR/4 + DEX/4) * Shield Size Modifier * Stance Modifier) ÷ 1.5)]
+ 20 (Natural Shield Bonus) + Shield Enchant Bonus
Shield ranks 101, the medium shield size modifier vs melee is 1.00 so, we can exclude that from the calculations. Shield DS vs ranged uses different modifiers and there is also a shield size bonus/penalty in addition to the natural +20 and enchant bonuses. I'm using a 5x shield for these calculations
This set is shield DS only
1. Offensive:
[(101 + 3 + 10) * 0.50) / 1.5)] + 20 + 25 = 83
2. Guarded:
[(101 + 3 + 10) * 0.90) / 1.5)] + 20 + 25 = 112
3. Defensive:
[(101 + 3 + 10) * 1.00) / 1.5)] + 20 + 25 = 120
Even with 2 empty hands there is still one-hand parry DS from the 101 brawling ranks.
One-hand Parry DS Formula vs Melee:
Note: There is no parry DS vs ranged attacks with the exception of runestaves.
[(Ranks + STR/4 + DEX/4) * (stance modifier)] + stance bonus
This set is one-hand parry DS only
1. Offensive:
[(101 + 3 + 10) * 0.20] + 0 = 22
2. Guarded:
[(101 + 3 + 10) * 0.60] + 40= 108
3. Defensive:
[(101 + 3 + 10) * 0.70] + 50 = 129
These next sets show melee DS from multiple sources as described
A. Dodge + One-hand Parry DS (Both hands empty):
OFF: 90 + 22 = 112
GUA: 114 + 107 = 221
DEF: 121 + 129 = 250
B. Dodge (w/ medium shield penalty) + One-hand Parry (empty right hand) + Shield DS:
OFF: 63 + 22 + 83 = 168
GUA: 79 + 108 + 112 = 299
DEF: 84 + 129 + 120 = 333
C. Dodge + Runestaff:
OFF: 90 + 80 = 170
GUA: 114 + 233 = 347
DEF: 121 + 271 = 392
D. Dodge + Runestaff + Shield:
OFF: 63 + 43 + 83 = 192
GUA: 79 + 121 + 112 = 312
DEF: 84 + 140 + 120 = 344

Thanks for that post Riltus, it was very informative. I don't know why I thought ranged DS was different, could have sworn I read that somewhere.

What would happen if I trained him in TWC?
