Not to be rude, but, what else? Equipment? Attributes? And how is Thunderclap activated? This seems like a viable build, if a bit spread out.

cast glyph, then Mark, then Thunderclap, then ignite
it will knock them down and burn them
might want to put in Brambles

12+3+1=16 Air
11+2=13 Fire
rest in WS

Except your energy dies. Which is why no one uses this elite, especially with a bow.

Ya with a shocking shortbow, they just cant get up....or they do, but as soon as they look up, they are down again. I can last a good 2 mins with the right skills. Clever use of ignite arrows and mark. I like to keep monks busy with this build...especially if they are side by side *snickers*

if your using a shortbow, u could switch to wand, cunjure lightning?. wands have same attack rate as shortbows i think...

If you can use Conjure Lightning, you're already doing lightning damage. You don't need a bow to activate this skills, but the longer range could help. Bows are 2 seconds for the fastest ones, which are flatbow and shortbow. Wands are 1.75 i believe. It doesn't matter too much because the KD should last for 3 seconds with the right insignia. (it's not warrior only anymore, is it?)
The only advantage I see to a bow is the prep. If you're already using Thunderclap I wouldn't spend more energy on a prep and Mark of Rodgort, but that's just me.

true, forgot about that :$

The reson shortbow is the best is to get it so the knockdown is timed with the shot. Knockdown lasts aproximately 2 seconds, a wand has an attack speed of 1.33s, a long bow has a refire rate of 2.4 seconds. the only weapon that has a refire/attack rate of 2 seconds is the shortbow and flatbow as jesh said. http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=bow

using conjures will trigger Thunderclap twice, and since the target is already knocked down, it doesnt trigger again, resulting in twice the energy loss. If you could throw in "glowing gaze" into your build i think it would be a good use of a slot and would prolong your energy and therefore the knockdown.
