I called the dealership parts desk and was quoted 308.37 plus taxes for the part.
2 hours for replacement, and the diagnosis cost plus with taxes, from my calculations only adds up to $639.56.
Could they be hosing me for a days worth of work to diagnose?

You are probably on the hook for a certain charge for the diagnosis no matter what you decide - however, most dealers don't charge you that if you decide to go ahead with the repair.
I know the last time I took my car in (even under warranty) - I had to sign that I would pay $50 if what they found wasn't covered and if I didn't go ahead with the repair.
The part price isn't bad - if I was bringing up one from the states it would be roughly 275.
The math sounds a off for sure ... the part is 308 ... 2 hours of labour is probably 220 ... for a subtotal of 528 ... you're still short $180 before tax.
Just ask for a detailed line by line quote.
