Why are you running zerk gear with defensive traits? reminds me of those you find in pugs, who claim are zerk but just range everything (don’t ask why). I don’t think you should need more than 10 in Arcana, that’s just for a d/f build. I currently run the standard 30/10/10/20 and thats just to stack might/fury. If you are the only ele in group or are pug’ing it, it’s a good build. D/D has good burst but not much survivability for dungeons, I only use them as stacking weps. There are good builds for either D/F or S/D depending on what you need, here’s a good guide:

elementalists are really good at stacking might, which makes all fights much easier.
The frost bow and fiery greatsword make some boss fights stupid easy, if your team stacks against a wall or corner and use ice bow 4 (Icestorm) followed by casting fgs 3 pointing to a wall, then 4 also turned to a wall (but you should have no enemy targeted for this skill so it does a rush instead of a leap).

You should try using Icestorm on static objects you need to destroy, ac burrows for example.

Among many other examples, elementalists are a really good dungeon class imo.
