Energy Storage: 12+3

Skills:
Healing Breeze
Crystal Wave
Earthquake
Aftershock
Obsidian Flesh
Armor of Earth
Kinetic Armor
Essence Bond
Weapon:
Galigord's Staff will work
Collectors Earthstaff with a +20% enchantment mod and +7 AR vs elemental is good too.
1. Leave Augury Rock and cast Essence Bond.
2. Near a group of hydras, cast Kinetic Armor. (BEFORE YOU AGGRO). Cast Armor of Earth.
3. After you think you have aggroed enough hydras, cast Obsidian Flesh. Cast Crystal Wave and Aftershock whenever you can, and when Obsidian Flesh starts running out, cast Earthquake and then Obsidian Flesh again.
4. Remember to cast Healing Breeze when you need to.
5. Recharge all skills and repeat.
Important: keeping Kinetic Armor up. Healing Breeze is the spam of choice for me, but if that fails by a meteor u can always cast Essence Bond again, it has only 2 secs cooldown. If u have a staff with 20% longer enchantments Kinetic Armor lasts 8 seconds +20% which is 9.6 seconds, rounded up 10seconds. Obsidian Flesh is now lasting 21 seconds +20% which is 25.2seconds, rounded down 25 seconds, its reloading time is 30 seconds. With the 20% change of faster recharge, u can see why Obsidian Flesh is very very good. Also important is to monitor ur energy, in the beginning u have no worries, Essence Bond will feed u, but when there are 2 or 1 left dont spam like crazy, u are not attuned.
Hydras don't exactly have the best drops, but this build is still pretty good. It might work with a small group of Griffons, and I'm sure it works with Sand Drakes. But you have to make sure you don't aggro any Rockshot Devourers.
Enjoy
