There is more to Rit than just SoS. A Rit can go as a straight damage build using things like Clamour of Souls, Spirit Rift, etc., or as a Restoration based healer, and of course, as specialized builds such as an FS (Frozen Soil) in a VSF group.
Furthermore, boring is in the eye of the beholder. I don't find an SoS build to be boring - but that may depend upon your particular SoS build.

I wouldn't even vouch for Mesmer, running one myself through EOTN. I wanted to use Ineptitude so badly, but every time I did if I didn't get a hero to run Panic for me we'd suffer a lot more. So if you want to group with people Panic is pretty much stapled to your bar, no matter how hard you try to replace it.

Mesmers have plenty variety, Panic is overated and undeed for general PvE.

Elementalist offers an amazing amount of variety, as currently they lack a single elite that overpowers others. Not only that, but there are strong elites in every element, and the freedom to switch attribute lines on a whim while still being useful is not a luxury many other classes enjoy (if any). For example, Searing Flames is only slightly more popular than Savannah Heat. In earth there's Sandstorm/Unsteady Ground, in air Invoke Lightning, in water Ward Against Harm. And if you want to use another profession entirely, your large energy reserves can make you a very competent monk or any other caster profession.

Invoke is the only elite you mentioned thats actually worth using atm.

I cba commenting on the rest...
