Short answer: Fire is great in PvE for taking down groups. Air is great for taking down single enemies. Water and Earth are both more defensive.

If you want to be an interrupter, Domination is important, and there's some air skills which interrupt. (There's some knockdown and such in some other lines, but more general annoyance than specific interrupts.)

Fast Cast is only available to Mesmer primaries.

Air Magic - Single target damage.
Earth Magic - Defensive spells.
Fire Magic - AoE damage.
Water Magic - Damage and debuffs.
Domination Magic - Mostly anti-caster.
Illusion Magic - Mostly anti-melee.
Inspiration Magic - Mostly self-buffs.

There's no right way to play the game. You're better off if you experiment and make your own builds. Plus, you can basically change everything about your character except your primary class, so if you screw up, don't worry about it.

i am a Mesmer/Elementalist myself, and i currently use Earth the most. Ward against melee for teammates and the Earthquacke/Afthershock combo works great when there are a lot of guys arround you. Use stone daggers as spam skill, and fit a few nice armor or healing skills. Then if you ask me you would be quite strong.
