I've heard the Flame build still works, but requires more care. I was never able to work that build very well, so I started experimenting on my own. I think there are several E/Me builds that work.
Here's one that works for me. Its a stoneflesh/sliver build modified from one Wyat showed me long ago:
E/Me
Mantra of Resolve
Aura of Restoration
Earth Attunement
Armor of Earth
Channeling
Stoneflesh Armor
Sympathetic Visage
Sliver
Basically keep 1-6 up constantly, and 7-8 as much as you can. Channeling (and lots of enemies) will ensure you have plenty of energy.
This works in HM, but the only sticky spot is Rekoff. If you time Sliver right as she approaches you, (and get a little lucky), she'll go down. Otherwise, once she uses Twisting Jaws, start casting every spell you can so Aura can heal you. Its not much healing, but sometimes it keeps you alive long enough for her to die. The rest of the Raptors won't give you any trouble at all, though.
EDIT: I usually do Rekoff's group and the group patrolling around the rock first. Once Rekoff is dead, I aggro the rest of the cave. I don't have the exact build here, but I think the point spread is 16 Earth, 10 Energy, and everything else in Inspiration. Now I'm not sure if I actually used the Visage or if that was just from when I was playing around...

I use the following build all the time on my assassin.
I think it will work for your ele too.
Shadow Arts: 12+1+3
Deadly Arts: 3
Earth Magic: 12
Of course, use a +20%enchanting mod on your weapon.
Dash
Dark Escape
Magnetic Aura
Deadly Paradox
Shadow Form
Deaths Charge
Sliver Armor
Air of Superiority
1)Dash to the cave
2)Cast Magnetic Aura + Dark Escape, lure all nestlings.
3)Deadly Paradox -> Shadow Form -> Deaths Charge on the boss
4)Activate Sliver Armor + Air of Superiority
5)Pick up the drops and resign :)

try that.
water magic 6
shadow arts 11
Fire Magic 12
runes for fire and energy etc
Armor of Mists replaces fire attun, thats pretty much it.
Dont use AoM and FDH at the same time, you'll run too fast and lose aggro of the raptors, water magic at 6 will give you 10 seconds of running, plenty of time to round them all up. all you lose is 1 second of shadow form. run that and you should be fine, or gimme a pm if you have any troubles
