The synergy between improved flamestrike and shatter plus master of elements is pretty nice. You gather everything up and frost nova then cast flamestrike and cone of cold. Flamestrike has a 65% base chance to crit frozen targets which procs ignite -- which will stack 4 times with 4 mages. Then kite for a couple of seconds until ignite and the flamestrike burn wear off. Frost nova again and repeat. If played properly the mobs shouldn't even touch you. The cone of cold may even crit with shatter if your connection is fast enough to batch the CoC cast at the end of flamestrike. Huge burst.

Every video I see people are just spamming arcane explosion and barely avoiding dying on a mage or two.

Added benefit of this spec is that you get pyroblast for opening on bosses.
I am pretty sure Bruce Lee (Peregrine) is at least running PyroBlast on his 4Mages+Priest build... Not sure if the rest is Elemental or not. Now that he hit 60 I think he is planning on posting his builds (if he hasn't already) and I think he saves his videos on twitch.
