I can agree that a high level Fissure is very effective against mobile crowds (ie, Cows). However, Volcano is more effective against the things that you have to worry about as a half-Summoner: stationary crowds, ranged attackers, Act Bosses. Remember, when you throw Summons into the mix, your Fissure gets all screwed up, because monsters bunch around your Summons and don't move around enough to really take a lot of damage from the vents. This is why I made my Artimentalist a pure Elementalist, exactly so I could use Fissure effectively. And I still had to max out Volcano!
For reference, I have a slvl 42 Fissure as well as a slvl 42 Volcano. I find that they both have effective uses, but I think that Volcano better caters towards the problems of a Summoner.
