Summary
The Fire Elementalist has mediocre HP and attack; however, its spells is where it really shines. Arcfire will heavily damage one random enemy stack, while at high levels of experience, Firestorm does modest damage to each enemy stack. At a high level, a Fire Elementalist can take away four or five ultimates with Firestorm, and if Arcfire happens to hits the stack of ultimates, even more. This makes the task of whittling away 10% of your enemy's power considerably easier.
Ultimate units typically have high resistance against specialities. Therefore, the Fire Elementalist' chances of hurting ultimates with Arcfire or Firestorm are low. Fodder stacks are decently cleaned by Firestorm. Average and Complex units also take a fair amount of casualties. Units with a Weakness to FIRE, such as Ice Elemental and several Verdancy units suffer the most from Fire Elementalist.
As another point, units in general that have pre-attack spells, such as Fire Elementalist, are very valuable as their damage is only reduced by elemental resistance. 80K damage might seem small compared to a stack of complex units, but remember that stack has to face Accuracy (30% for regular 20% for siege), Efficiency, Random modifier (20%-80%) and then the enemy's resist to that damage type.
Protecting your hero
The Fire Elementalist is a hero of race Elementals. This means he will preferentially lead Fire Elementals, Efreeti and Salamanders, enhancing their efficiency. Since Efreeti are difficult to stack wipe, your high level fire elementalist is best hid leading this unit, stacked behind your topstacks.
