Heroic Primordius, Heroic Twins, Heroic Tortos (if you kite bats), Heroic Council (if you are stuck on ranged add and not able to cleave majority of fight), etc etc are all examples of extremely poor fights for Ele (some depending on strat).
We have a few good fights, such as Heroic Durumu, but its not enough to warrant bringing in an Ele for each progression fight. I have never seen a Boomkin, Lock, Mage, Shadow Priest get sat because their class underperforms on certain fights. They each do well on their "bad" fights, but on multi target fights they simply shine and this tier has soooo many multi dot fights its ridiculous.
Imo Ele should be one of the highest single target casters, because we simply can not compete when it comes to all these dual dot fights. I would be ok with dual dotters winning meters every fight, if i could atleast bring excellent single target to make up for our extremely underwhelming multi target damage.
Instead, elemental has the lowest single target damage of any caster. Its just mind boggling.
