The first one is a bit more bursty than the 2nd, but the 2nd has better sustained damage. The first two are for when you don’t have 20+ might stacks otherwise. The 3rd one is much easier to play and hits harder when not factoring in might stacking, but is significantly worse at stacking might. Play the first two for great challenge; staff in PvE is just camping fire attunement for the most part.

Those are for dungeons and fractals. In dungeons and fractals, you should run full berserker’s gear and max out your damage modifiers in your traits, which will make you extremely squishy. That’ll take a while to get used to.

As for zerging, http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Elementalist_-_Staff
That’s for open-world farming (not including world bosses, we’re talking more about daily farming/silverwastes here)
Or if you meant WvW zerging: http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Elementalist_-_Staff_Backline
That provides great group support in a WvW zerg
