Well, itās hard to tell which damage types I like less. Maybe itās bleeding - didnāt make yet high end build with this damage type. 
Favorite:
- Tri-Elemental - Three damages for the price of one! Plus it frequently has a fun purple color!
Honorable Mentions:
- Chaos - I like the pink color and just the idea of chaos damage. I wish it had a DOT though.
- Acid - Itās green and I like the idea of acid damage, but I donāt actually much care for the acid skills.
Least Favorite:
- Aether - I donāt know why but I really donāt like the color. Plus the Aetherials are absolute chumps; Iām not about to use their crappy damage type.

This should be under favourites.
You bring shame to the name āSalazar,ā sir. SHAME.
Favorites:
- Fire - Flashiest element in the game. Very easy to flood the screen with fire FX. Plus Fissure and Meteor reminds me of D2 druidās Volcano and Armageddon with modern FX.
- Lightning - The next flashiest element after fire. Play with an Ultos Primal Strike build for the quintessential lightning spam experience with lightning bolts and chain lightning everywhere.
Dislike:
- Physical - Just very boring from an FX PoV. Devotions like Oleron and Azrakaa are super meh to look at. Plus, physical builds tend to have poor AoE relative to the other damage types.
- Pierce - Same deal with physical. Conversion builds exist but native pierce skills and devos are just underwhelming.

Like: aether for the binders, lighting for general oupiedness, cold for being clever and somehow surviving all the nerfs (mostly by converting lightning lol), acid for no nonsense offensive devos and Venomblade - the best melee/caster and direct/DoT hybrid.
Dislike: chaos for unnerving dmg drops, over-resistant enemies and somehow managing to suck with 50k wpn dmg, phys for being knuckleheads with 4k armor and for the cheesiest weapon in the game, pierce for stealing the nightblade glory.
Mixed feelings: Fire, vitality and bleed. Fireās mega strong but often clunky, vitality interesting but got no stuff I really like and Ratosh is at ass-end of the devo map, bleed I just donāt get.

Nice, in this thread my suspicions are approved.
No one other than me really likes Bleeding. 
Iāll start to like bleeding if you can make a bleeding spec work without Bloodrager (no pieces)
Edit : thatās meant for @Rhylthar, discourse on phone is weird
I am on phone, too, so better here.
You can make a Bleeding Build without Bloodragerā¦depending what you want to achieve. For Main Campaign onlyā¦no problem.
Top damage types:
Chaos and physical, most likely because the huge weapon damage you can squeeze out of them.
Ps I currently run a non bloodrager hybrid that works decently so it is possible.

I didnāt like bleeding for long time, cause I havenāt tried it.
But bleeding problem isnāt that itās not fun damage type or itās weak. Just itās exotic and for end game content is limited to Bloodrager set and more or less same devotion path.
For example cold can have Ultos, Leviathan, Yugol, Sage or Seru as T3 constellation. Also damage one like Amatok and can use generic like Dying God or Korvaak without screwing the path. So I can create different cold builds. Same can be applied to many different damages.
But if bleeding receives another universal set, count me in the bleeding bandwagon.

Like : Fire (massive damage potential with Meteor, Fissure, BWC, Mines, Kalastorā¦), Pierce (lot of conversion possibility and not much resisted)
Dislike : Chaos (lack of RR and find it hard to support), Aether (never interested me ), Poison (donāt like the color 
)
I donāt know what it is about chaos that makes people like it. Do they feel more badass for choosing a slightly retarded dmg type? Trying to compete with Lightning or Aether, chaos is like binging a knife to a gun fight. A plastic knife. The kind little girls play house with, cutting imaginary little cakes for their little dolls. And it doesnāt even have 100% uptime.
Chaos used to have Witching Hour pets top-tierness to boast. That too was taken away. Whatās to like? 
Iām not sure what chaos builds youāve been playing. But I can confidently say Darkblaze Pyro has one of the strongest single target DPS in the game. Yes even stronger than a lot of melee builds.
Massive flat damage from 4 different skills (BoD, Witchfire, Possession and Flametouched) all fully converted to chaos. In fact, the weapon damage is so big that explosive strike with its measly 30% weapon damage is good enough to clear crowds. If you want even more crowd clearing, that build I posted has 2 Incinerators on swap for more pass-through WPS.
Thereās a fine pink line between genius and insanity. Only the most badass retards can handle the power of primordial pinkness! 
Just about all of the main archetypes.
I donāt wanna make it sound personal but that Darkblaze pyro is low dmg even for a Darkblaze pyro. Take Abomination. Maybe get some Sanctified Bones.
20k on DG, 17k offā¦ nothing to write home about, especially for chaos. Anyway, chaos wpn dmg is a noob trap. RahāZin has like 35k - best on dw - and is still mid-tiery at best. Rahābinger has over 50k and canāt hold a candle to Valdun or Desolator.
(BTW has anyone tested Jaxxons on Darkblaze?)
Not that these are bad builds. Just comparatively kinda on the weaker side of things. Canāt wait for FoI buffs for the Voidsoul though.

Thatās a āproblemā for sure. But another set wonāt solve it because Bloodrager already supports the ābestā masteries for Bleeding.
There have to be changes to masteries like Necromancer, etc. imho so a set could support them.
The reason I donāt like bleeding is thereās no conversion available to it. Conversion is one of my favourite parts of building in this game, and bleeding canāt do it at all.
