After testing out some builds, and all weapon combimations, I'm pretty sure that the best dungeon DPS build (I consider staff builds more supportive), is scepter/dagger.

Basically, I use 30/30/10 earth fire water, and stack condition damage > power > vitality = precision. I generally swap between fire and earth, unless the situation requires lightning or water, building up might stacks while in fire. Works really well. Thoughts? If something else works better, I'd like to know.

How high do you get your might stacks?

How are you stacking might? With combo finishers or some trait?

Only have 20 in earth, 10 in arcane instead, but probably very similar.
Like the OP I also really liked S/D in dungeons, especially with a ranger with healing spring in the team
You get all the might from

• switch to fire (elemental attunement)
  
• casting fire spells (pyromancer's puissance)
  
• RoF + your 4-5 blast finishers

the 2 blinds, 2 knockdowns also really help in the dungeons...

Try that :

dagger (fire field) + scepter (blast finisher) + scepter (blast finisher)
then swith on earth attunement
dagger (blast finisher) + dagger (blast finisher) (or Arcane Wave )

=> 12 stacks of might for you and people nearby

And this is just by default. You can get the trait Persisting Flames so your fire field last longer and you can cast another finiser like Arcan Blast. Or you can get Pyromancer's Puissance so each time you cast a fire spell you get +1 might.

Also, someone mentioned that you can use Lightining Flash (the teleport) while casting Churning Earth.

That is some really helpful information!
