The design of Fire Elemental is bad, the whole idea of summoning a guardian which does nothing except damage is flawed design for a Dps CD, unless it seriously packs a punch in certain situation.
But Fire Elemental is a bad CD on Single Target and even worse in AoE.
The Maelstrom generation from SET should become Baseline, or the duration / Damage adjusted so that the thing actually does some shit while it's up, open possibilities to synergize with Elemental Mastery or any Trinket Proc.
Right now the thing is a floating searing totem with a CD, Overall damage is probably even similiar.
Elemental Fusion sucks because it would go batshit insane on any encounter involving 2-3 targets to multi dot.
Because most people "prefer" those numbers, 5% sounds better than 7.5% or 8%.
