ll I can offer is how I learned to play this class (and of course I am by no means an expert).
Disclaimer: *The following information is very high level and clearly there are a lot more details you can learn*
For starters, use the Staff for group events and encounters. The Staff gives you the best ranged attacks, ranged AE abilities and AE healing. Using Air, you can hit many enemies at once and using water you can heal anyone close to the boss. A staff will usually get you gold in an event. I also use the staff in every story line quest. I just found it the only way to survive.
For single combat, I personally found a scepter/dagger combo the best. There were many ways to control an enemy and kill them before they got to me.
Dagger/Dagger is lots of fun but gets me killed the most.
Using a focus as an offhand has yet to impress me. I kind of keep it in my bag for now.
Just a few notes to help you along...
1) Make sure you are dodge/rolling away from big attacks. Trolls can one shot you if you just stand there!
2) Fire will typically kill things the fastest, but offers little in slowing down your attacker
3) Water not only heals, but can slow down your attacker.
4) Earth is a great attunement for kiting.
5) Cycling between elements becomes a necessity as you get higher in level. I am currently level 13 and go through Air, fire, and water before killing anything.
I hope this helps!
