Overall this build seems pretty fit, yes I know I don't really have any great storage but thats what bonuses are for.
Opinions?
Critique my build? (moved to here)

What are you wanting to do with this build? Fight Monsters or Players?
If your answer is Players, I suggest rethinking your build.
Secondly... am I missing something? Fire Magic, supposedly @ 21... and Energy Storage supposedly @ 17? Explain how you are getting this numbers.

I used the calculator, and yes this is for fighting Players.
Was looking for Maximum AoE

You're attribute levels are a little off- there is no way to reach 21 Fire Magic or 17 Energy Storage. You've got your attribute levels correct in the 12/10/8 setup, but I'm not sure where you're thinking you can get +9 Fire Magic and +7 Energy Storage from. The only way to boost your attributes are via headgear and runes, making a maxumum of +4 in one attribute(headgear and a superior rune), and all other attributes can only be at +3. You can only use one rune for each attribute, so you can't stack runes to give a bigger bonus to an attribute.
You can use a weapon that gives a 20% chance of giving +1 to your Fire Magic when you cast spells, and if you put in Glyph of Elemental power, you could possibly cast Fire Magic spells at a 19 attribute level- if you use the Glyph and get the 20% chance on your weapon to trigger.

I used the maximum of what I could with the calculator.

Calculator or not, it can't be done in game, as far as anyone that I know can tell.
But other than that... I don't think you'll have too much fun with this build, even in PvE... there's a lot of time spent casting. 5 seconds on Rogorts... 3 seconds on most other things. These are also energy hungry spells... I think you'll find yourself spending a lot of time firing with your wand.
This is what I ran, last time I tried a fire elementalist for PvE... Immolate, Fireball, Phoenix, Conjure Flame (w/ a fire wand), Glyph of Lesser Energy, and Firestorm. I was a Mesmer secondary, so I also ran Energy Drain (elite) and Ether Feast... It worked pretty well.
Ether Feast kept me alive... Energy Drain & Glyph of Lesser Energy gave me enough energy to work with as well. Immolate is a decent attack skill that gives you something worth doing when you're not casting your big spells like Firestorm.
Often, I wouldn't even use Firestorm or Phoenix until I could hit a group of 2+ enemies at once... then I'd chain all 3 together... But while they were recharging, I also had Immolate to play with and/or Conjure Flame if I needed something else to do. All the while, I would heal myself if I had to with Ether Feast, and try to keep my energy pool up by using Energy Drain or Glyph of Lesser Energy (before casting a costly spell).
Just something to think about.

My head asploded when I saw a 3 digit number on fireball. I was so shocked for a moment.
