Depends on what you're missing and how you play the toon really. My Fire/Rad went Earth as he tends to be in melee range and Fissure really suits his playstyle. The Earth armour is decent in PvE for defenses and the HP boost power will help him survive on teams (I'm always "Mr Fallie Down" on teams due to the fact I'm in close).
On the other hand my Grav/TA went with Fire for ranged fiery AOE goodness as I tend to be at range all the time (plus it ignites my Oil Slick, but you've got lots of powers for that). The Fire shields I don't really need but they're Ok. Consume is great for me as I skipped Stamina altogether (he's got a few IO set bonuses to boost recovery).
My Illusion/Storm went with Ice as Hibernate is a great way to avoid death and rest in combat as my many pets keep fighting on for me. Ice Storm is a bit too slow on teams to really be worth it, great for prolonged fights and in Rikti raids though. Ice bolt is a nice quick attack which completes my Single Target attack chain.
So if you tend to hang around outside of combat lobbing attacks in whilest your imps maul enemies, and Endurance is still an issue occasionally I'd go Fire (although Fireball is great at point blank range too)
If you like to get right in there, need good defenses, an AOE power that adds a decent bit of control (and have the cash for the Forced Feedback PROC) and need a self-heal I'd go Earth.
If you have all the AOE damage you need but would like more powerful controls and the ability to go easier on your End go Power for Powerboost and Conserve Power. A powerboosted EMP Arrow is Game Over for most spawns (they're going to be held for a long, long time).
For my Fire/TA I took Ice so that I could use Ice Storm and finish of the spamming of DoT attacks. I quite like the ice epic for that and hibernate.
My next troller is taking Earth though cause I want to be in melee more (my Fire/TA uses hover so I get judge better where to place the debuffs. Ice works well with this).

They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
Thanks guys, I took Ice finally. Hibernate works well, especially useful when in big teams. But since I have a fair amount of respecs, maybe I will try the other ones later (fire would fit my concept best, but I will see what to choose).
My Fire/TA has just reached lvl 41 and I found that I am really helpless about choosing an epic for her.

I took all the powers from the primary and secondary sets except for smoke and poison gas arrow.
I only took fitness pool for stamina and speed pool for hasten and SS (which I pretty hate in some zones
I did look into all the sets, but there is one power in every set that looks very good.
So if you could help me guys to decide, I would be very grateful.
Thank you.
