A new Fresh Air S/F build
On paper, I like it. The only thing I would switch is the Arcane GM to Elemental Surge, because you can do nice combos with Arcane Blast in Earth Attunement. Keep an enemy in place for a powerful crit combo with good timing (so, trying to get Sigil of Intelligence) will rock lots of players. Plus you gain lots more ferocity. I think it would be a good build overall in the right hands because it’ll be extremely hard to play well in order to maximize crits.
The synergy is great, but having the water traitline and cleansing wave on dodge it looks like a waste to not choose soothing disruption and mist form instead of arcane shield.
That’s a personal preference though, i’ve regreted not having mist form everytime i picked arcane shield or earth armor over it.

Bad Elementalist
this is what I would try if so inclined.
Team Deathmatch for PvP – Raise the AoE cap for WvW – More unique events for PvE
I agree with FrownyClown´s build :-). Condi removal is the bad part.
Also dps ele is trash once you get to 3star gold. I spend the entire game being chased off point trying to live
