I want some protection for my ele in PvP, what would be a good skill to use as protection against spell blocking? Should I be a mesmer or monk?
What is the best spell that lasts the longest for protection from spell breakers or energy denial?
Pick my secondary!!! HELP!!!

there are no spells (that I know of) that resist a spell break, my Elementalists secondary is monk, with Mending and a small heal I stay alive a long time.

Mesmers have several skills that prevent interrupts.
I believe one is called "Mantra of Concentration" and there is another that also works well. Both would complement an Elementalist well, but your anti-interrupt might get interrupted or it simply wouldn't be useful enough.
Instead, I would suggest that you focus on getting shorter casting time spells. For example, shifting from fire to lightning takes you from multi-second Meteor Shower type spells to 0-time Enervating Charge spells.
Additionally, tactics can be used to beat interrupts. Do a fake out, prepping a spell but cancelling right when you see the enemy fire his interrupt (which often add a long recharge delay), or throw all your cheap and quick spells until you see the enemy distracted, then throw down your heavy spells.
But a Monk is just as vulnerable to spell interrupts as an Elementalist, so I would suggest you go with the Mesmer if you want to prevent interrupts.
