Fire: Pros: Makes them scatter. Cons: Your monk gets the mob after they scatter. :P

Earth: Pros: You get significantly less damage. Cons: You might die instead of your monk. OH NOES.

Yeah, I'm very pro-Earth.

As I told you, I'm very pro-Earth. I'm not being sarcastic.

You dying is much better than your healer dying.

In a very, very, very stereotypical way...

If you want spike damage to a single target - go AIR
If you want AoE damage to multiple targets - go FIRE
If you want defense, with a limited mix of the attack abilities above - go EARTH
If you want snares/hexes - go WATER
