Nope, nope. We can think, and come up with...
Best 1.10 elemental druid: tornado [20] hurricane [20] twister [20] bear [1] wolf [20] oak [20].
Reason: hurricane is still not decent in 8-player games (2K damage? Woot. Level 10 meteor does more) and it does not look like they are nerfing other classes to not be able to play in 8-way either. BUT it interacts with other wind skills.
Tornado is already the best elemental skill, doing 400-1000 damage (depending on target size) and hitting an entire crowd. Yes you need to get close with it, but you need to get very close with hurricane. Adding 100-200% synergy would make it evil. Then, seeing as you need hurricane anyway for the synergy bonus, use that vs phys immunes.
There is a very good chance that tornado gets boosted by hurricane (it's got a lot of variables to play with, including damage radius, and hit frequency). So you need hurricane anyway, why not use it vs phys immunes.
While fire skills only buff each other, leaving you with no alternative element, meaning you will suck against immunes. If you go ahead and totally max volcano or armageddon, it may be able to kill with relative ease, but you'll have no backup skills at all, and not enough points to get a decent one plus the critical oak sage skill.

Nothing is impossible if you believe in it enough.
