Gustave,
I agree with you. The Flail of ages +5 does dish out lots of damage, but the 1d6+6 is only really the weapon's main damage, as all the elemental damage would not be doubled on a critical hit. Using two handed weapon style specialisation also means that you're twice as likely to roll a critical hit using two handed weapons (around one in ten hits will be critical). Losing a shield may be a lot to sacrifice, but most enemies in ToB have such high THAC0's that it doesn't really matter what your armour class is.
