Default Ele permanent shadow form tank?

I have a question. I have been wondering if ele can be perma tank. I can create the same build as assassin/ele, even better because I have more energy.
So I don't see any problems with it. However on wiki there arent any ele's perma tank builds, and I haven't seen elementalist as perma tank in vsf or dungeons like slavers exile. If it's impossible can you tell me why?

As far as I know, an elementalist cannot maintain shadow form. They can't boost their Shadow Arts attribute high enough.

I can develop it because it's not assassins primary attribute so I'll have 12 In it, I'll buy rune +3to it , and then plus 1 and add it to spectacles. I'll have 16, and that's enough to have this skill permanent on.

You can't have runes that don't belong to your primary profession

I can't add them to armor?
Edit: ah didn't know:P so ele can't be perma tank, this argument settles it.

No. Elementalists can only use Elementalists Runes.

You already have the last one in UWSC, first and second one aren't very expensive. And then watch, because E/A is better than A/E with these (even though it has 15 Shadow Arts). And it can be maintained with essence and GoS + Essence of celerity.

You can't do it with equipment and skills alone, no.

With cons, yes.
