I'm looking for a fun Mesmer/Ele build to play in PvE. So far I haven't seen anything that peaked interest. Any suggestions?

I just switched my secondary to elementalist and I'm experimenting with really high Fast Cast and Mantra of Recovery, atm.

10+4 Fast Casting
10+1 Inspiration
11 (Element - I've only tried water so far, but am not fond of it, I'm thinking of trying out air next)

Major energy problems, and this is my first foray into Elementalist skills. The biggest problem I see is the lack of spammable inspiration magic to benefit from the Manta of Recovery. Energy Tap is pretty much it. I've tried Spirit of Failure w/ Blurred vision, but that doesn't seem to be cutting it. I'm thinking really cheap Elem spammables (like lightning strike) with channelling might be the way to go. It seems like it'll be a fun build if I can get it off the ground.

Another build which may be interesting

Mesmer/ Earth Elementalist which uses the Inspiration Phys/Elem Resistance stances, Armor of Earth, and Illusionary Weapondry. Seems like a pretty effective tank right there.

Thanks for the suggestions. I hear that an air ele is pretty powerful with the right skills.

My Me/E is powerful and my best PVE character, better than my W/Mo and W/E. All are past the desert, had a E/Me but changed it for fast cast. I have only used henchies so far but should work with real people too. The idea is to spike damage and fights don't last long.

Fast Cast: 9 (8+1)
Fire Ele: 12
Domination: 14 (10+4)
2 extra
Energy is at 48

Immolate
Fireball
Fire Storm
Meteor Shower
Glyph of Lessor Energy (use with Meteor Shower)
Empathy
Chaos Storm

Use only fire untill later levels then get your domination magic up, this is also when you start to need the armor ignoring spells of empathy and chaos strom. No exhaustion except meteor shower. Trying to get glyph of energy and energy surge as elites.

To spike a boss or group of mobs: Glyph - Meteor Shower - Chaos Storm - Fire Storm - Fireball. With fast cast this goes off quick and does much damage. Empathy takes out melee mobs fast.

They are, but only with level 16 air. The only reason I can think of is being a Me/E Air spiker would be fast casting, but you'll exhaust your energy pool even faster than you would as an ele primary.
