Yes, if you have 2 very geared healers with you. You could probably get through 1st wing fine, alot of the fights you only need 2 heals. However if you are equally geared to the rest. I would say go do ToC 10/25 a bit more.
Two major issues are your MP5 is ridiculously low. 216 while casting? you will be going oom often. Your haste is about 200 less than what it should be in ICC 10/25.
Finally, don't use a staff get a one hand weapon and Shield it's just better.
Minimum stats should be approximately (all stats are self buffed)
2600 sp/28 percent crit/700 haste/400 plus mp5/ 24k to 25k mana
This is self buffed. You are low on mana and have a shockingly low MP5, if you have two very good healers on the team than you should be fine, but if you are all equally geared than the answer is no you are not ready for ICC.

Nope I mean 400 mp5 without mana spring and with your water shield up.
Backus
is my shaman and I am doing ICC 25/10 on a regular basis. When I first started ICC 10, I had about 450 mp5 since there is alot more pre-ICC gear with mp5. It's down to about 368 without Water shield which puts me over 400 with water shield non-raid buffed without the meta gem. I gained about 100 haste from when I started.
Staffs are not better, generally they offer less sp/crit/haste while giving you and increase in intellect. Plus, if you roll on a staff all the casters who can't do the shield one hand would eat you alive, and have every right to. The enchant is the main reason you would go one hand/shield. if you look your viable stats are equal or pretty close to that staff even though it's 2 ilvls behind it. That's why shield/offhand plus one hand wins.
Actully ICC 5 man heroics are ilvl 226 gear

Looks like you figured out what I meant by you were too low on MP5 (no one cares about mp5 when standing still it's always about while casting). What you need to know about EJ's is they are talking Best in Slot. Not pre ICC 25 raiding, it is a very good starting point, but is not the place to go for information when prepping for ICC.
In your staff vs dagger/shield - You forgot to take into account the plus 25 intellect to shield enchant.
Also you are taking account into EJ's end game numbers for BiS gear (you are nowhere close to that yet)
