This build is quite easy to deal damage with if you follow this skill priority based on your attunement:

• Air/Air: Prioritize and AA Chains
• Fire/Air: > >
• Fire/Fire: > Can't find such skill "Ring of Fire"! Please refer to our skill index. > >
• Air/Fire: AA Chains

If you wind up in Water:

• > Water AA Chain >

Earth: Earth actually has a few useful blast finishers which can help with might if you have a fire field down

• > Try to leave earth as soon as possible

Ideally you'll use your in Air for Vulnerability, though if a mob is already capped on vuln using it in Fire is higher DPS. Try not to interrupt your AA chains in Air, it's fine to interrupt fire if a big skill is about to come off cooldown.
