3> Improved burst. Ascendance is huge. Elemental Mastery is no slouch either. If you're talking about our "burst" outside of those cooldowns, you aren't really talking about our burst, because you're excluding a significant part of it for no really good reason.
4> Better control. We have more control options now than we've had before, additional stuns and mobility tools, a much reduced CD on Thunderstorm as well.
I'm not saying these are all super mega awesomemazing OP, but they're ways the Elemental toolkit was improved over Cata. Saying they didn't address Elemental's issues is simply not true. They may not have addressed them to the full degree that you wanted to see, but that's not remotely the same thing.
If that were true, why'd they add the Thunderstorm reduction to our PvP gear?
