General thoughts;
Bleeding Bone: Up Spellpower to 20, Spellcrit to 20, ditch the (remarkably large) Blood bonus(Or lower it to 0.1. Or give it a Bone 0.1 bonus instead.). Ups the general versatility and makes it usable for more mages in general, gives it a niche as a general use critstaff for that rank. Disease/Poison weakness seems athematic, not sure why it's there, Nature weakness could use a (smaller) corresponding Blight resist(15-20%).
Unity: Suffers from not actually being all that useful of a niche; Very few mages actually use all elements, or more elements than that are on a Greater staff. Best idea I have, up Spellpower/Spellcrit to more normal levels for tier 5(35/20) and give it all damage conversion 10% Physical/Fire/Cold/Lightning/Acid/Darkness/Light/Temporal/Arcane/Nature, so that it turns every attack into a blend of elements, but even then it's basically worse than Tarelion or Telos Top for the most part.
Iron Mind: Very much like a worse Helm of the Dwarven Emperors, which is found in the same tier. Basically would have to redesign it as an entirely new artifact to change that.
Eye of the Storm: Very much like Storm Fury...which is a bow, yes, but it still strengthens a lot of the same things and boosts Spellpower. While some of the ideas here could be used to strengthen Storm Fury, it'd be redundant to have two tier 5 weapons that do the same thing, and Storm Fury has a rather neat unique mechanic, so I'd rather see it buffed than replaced with a staff.
First Stone: Is a better shield than many shields of that tier, and is a Mindstar. Generally hard to work with without removing any point it has to exist(Removing the high physical resist and armor hardiness would make it generic, yet it's hard to come up with values that wouldn't make it an extremely powerful defensive weapon or a very generic one.).
Storm Star: Probably too good if picked up right as it becomes available and used for a dualwielder-that's a very large bonus to damage at that point for them on top of daze chances. Probably pretty bad for most anyone else. Sorta hard to work with. Also, largely not very good for Alchemists(You can slot it into your Golem, I guess, if they're dualwielding...).
Temporal Hole: Sorta bad for the most part, those bonuses only come into play for a small subset of players, and then the large physical resistance hit makes them think twice about blowing a Stralite Ring/imbue on it. Also, utterly useless for Alchemists. Not really sure what to do with it.
Alchemist's Smock: Seems fine, if simple.
Cracked Cuirass: Has pretty little focus; The Blight boost is the only really notable trait it has, and for a Reaver oriented armor, it doesn't really stand out as notably better than Thalore-Wood Cuirass at the same level.
Scourge of Light: Not really synergistic or logical for any current class...but I kinda like it anyways due to the heavy resistances/saves. Basically makes a good dualwielder pseudo-shield defensive weapon, and unlike First Stone, isn't basically better at it than shields due to that lack of synergy. Might be a little too good at its job, but I like a whip that's effective, and the fact that it's tier 3 means it won't dominate long term any time soon. Seems good.
Prismatic Blade: Probably would be the best twohander in the game, overtopping Legacy of the Naloren at what it does. I'd drop the breath chances down to 2%(Still a good 10% chance of strong on-hits), cut the Talent Masteries out, and have it do a prismatic damage conversion. (17% to Fire/Cold/Acid/Nature/Lightning.) That makes it harder to strengthen than most weapons(which helps justify the good resist/damage boost spread on a twohander), and makes it less of a Chromatic Harness mirror with all the masteries(Plus, 1.7 masteries for a lucky Wyrmic on a massive spread of categories might be a bit much.).
