I have to side with Blizzard on this one that the default mode is the best one to start new players off in order to get them used to the idea of having a good mix of different types of skills. Otherwise, the skill/rune combinations would look like a confusing mess to a new player. However, after normal mode is complete, tooltips should start popping up explaining how to turn on Elective Mode. Or maybe the option to turn on Elective Mode should start appearing in the skill selection screen to make it more visible.
