I gotta put a heavy vote against Aura of Displacement. If you know what you're doing, you don't need to teleport at all. Thus, I put my vote for:
Assassin's Promise. I click my target, do my combo, and instantly have full energy and all skills recharged. New target which is dead 8 seconds later and yet again I'm as ready as I was at the beginning of the fight to take down another.
How can any of the other elites compare to a skill that allows unlimited and unending killing of enemies?

And, for the record, I don't consider the exhaustion on Double Dragon to ruin it for a W/E (the exhaustion recovery rate is not that much slower than a warrior's natural regen anyway, and it'll be gone by the time Double Dragon recharges so you can't cripple yourself with it unless you have other exhaustion skills), but I will admit to preferring Starburst.

While other damaging elite is quite decent too if you got energy management to coop with it.
Almost all the ele elite is at least above seeping wound.

Energy Boon is pox, it's a 30s recharge OoB with slightly more energy and no sacrifice. The 30s kills it though.
Second Wind is theoretically able to keep up with Ether Prodigy, but it requires a lot of micromanaging and gives you energy back in one godly packet, which isn't how you necessarily want it.
The damage elites for the most are mediocre, when you compare them to what else is on offer. Star Burst and Shockwave both have potential, but that's about the extent of it.
So at the end of it, Elementalists have three outstanding elites, Ether Prodigy, Ele. Attune and Glyph of Renewal (none of which were added in Factions), a couple of reasonable but not fantastic damage elites and a weird but powerful energy elite. For the most the ele elites suck.

Sry, forgot about the all "faction" ele elite sux.
Although it would have helped if it was written "All faction ele elite sux".
And btw, Energy boon is 15 sec recharge.

Aura Of Displacement - the main reason my E/A is playable
Elemental Attunement - can be used with another attunement to help with ele's energy.

unless you are in touch range, then BHA has some use.

In team arenas broad head arrow is OK, but in 8v8, unless you got a ton of cover conditions or their RC monk shut down, dazed is going to get removed faster than diversion.

I'm rather partial to Blessed Light. Dragon Slash is awesome aaaand that's all I can think of atm.
EDIT: Shockwave is fun!

Very easily Aura of Displacement. Nothing else comes close. Well, before the nerf anyway; I haven't tried it out post-nerf.
