E/Mo Protector Support Build

I'll be honest, I haven't tried playing an Elementalist yet, but my curiosity has been piqued in regards to the support potential of an Earth Magic/Protection build. Has anyone tried combining these specific attributes (the 3rd would be energy storage) with any success?

I run an Mo/Ele that uses Ward Against Melee as part of protections. Works pretty well. As a Ele/Mo you would have much greater storage capacity so it is a nice alternative build - esp since you could also spec as a nuker or spiker as needed.

I play this kind of build.

It's quite good since many protection spells cost 10 or 15 energy.

I play Ether Prodigy to replenish my energy for I don't cast that much enchantments on myself.
