Ignoring that if you have optimization in mind you'll want to get the staves regardless for the casting time reductions, 99 Laev is only better when AM2 is up. While that's a pretty reasonable requirement these days, it also serves to detract from your overall damage output.. which is pretty counterproductive.
Long story short, no, but if for whatever reason you're a career BLM, you'll look like a boss wearing it.
Edit: I also seem to have forgotten that you can't swap other staves around for optimal precasts without losing AM2, making it even worse.
