So I found this guide on Dulfy about elementaslist's and some of the builds available to us. 

http://dulfy.net/2014/07/11/gw2-elementalist-pve-class-guide-by-haviz-and-zelyhn/

It's pretty in depth, which means I stopped paying attention about 1/2 way through. But if it's on Dulfy then its halfway decent, right? 
I run the Dagger/Focus build that is on the guide, but I might swap out to Dagger/Dagger, cause of the abilities that you get from the off-hand dagger.  I've tried the staff builds too, and they're pretty fun also, but I prefer getting up close and personal with the dagger. But enough about me. 

Good luck future Elementalists!!
