You can use mesmer or elemantalist primary, up to you. Personally, my ele is my first and favorite looking character... so, ele primary for me. (in all honesty, mes primary with fast cast would probably be better off... my poor ele >< )

Mesemer version would be best with fire, using meteor for the KD and take advantage of the fast cast on it. However, their spike look less like a spike than the ele version.

10 illusion
16 water/air
8-10 energy storage (depend whether u want to use superior + major or + minor) This part is still effy... if you know what I mean, might end up using full illusion with superior water + superior energy in the end.

[:]Fragility
[:]Conjur Phantasm/Image of Remorse- depend if you want to be more energy efficient or faster spike
[:]Shatter Stone/Lightning Surge/incendiary bond- depend if you want deal with prot spirit etc, or shielding hand etc.
[:]Accumulated Pain
[:]Shard Storm/Ice Spear/Lightning Strike/Arc Lightning/flare
[:]glyph of lesser energy
[:]Blurred Vision/Utility etc
[:]rez signet

Mes version:
[:]Fragility
[:]Conjur Phantasm/Image of Remorse- depend if you want to be more energy efficient or faster spike
[:]incendiary bond/etc
[:]meteor/fireball/etc
[:]accumulated pain
[:]flare/glyph
[:]Blurred Vision/Utility etc
[:]rez signet


Pros:

-Community is still naive about it.
-Can be teamed with soul barb.
-Only half of the damage is elemental.
-Most damage do not have projectile problem.

Cons:
-Energy inefficient.
-Fragile.
-A little slow on the take off.
-Half of the damage is elemental.

for this build i'd say its better primary ele, as it seems with the mesmer suggestion the attributes maybe spread a bit thinly for meteor/fireball/etc and Blurred Vision. But seems fair overall
