I have readen your experience with Elise and I wanted to reply because you can confuse many people out here. I've been playing Elise non-stop since the free week (bought her) and you are wrong in certain situation. First of all Elise is a MAGE and a great midder and most of the situation a great 1v1 in early game, as you have 6 spells @ lvl 3. Max Q always, no mater if you jungle ( just start with W ) mid, top, or support ( played all roles ). The low CD and high HP percentage is making this spell a great haras option early game.

? I build mostly AP, starting with Rilay ( belt if possible as first picked item ) because Elise has very low base health and health per level rushing for rabadon. Next item depends, if they have bruisers i buy the 700 Armor or go abyssal if they have pretty much magic damage from there you should figure out what you need to survive or to damage. I find Elise a great power source and i focus on staying alive because she deals "tons" of damage from procentually scalling Q. I dont max out W because its mana per level increases and there is a very good probability that the oponent will dodge the spider.?

As for jungler I go for lantern then build the mid ap items, sometimes i rush for trinity force instead of rabadon ( for more mobility ) then aim for AP.

In my opinion as a conclusion Elise is a great mage midder, ganker jungle or top lane. It's efficiency as a bruiser is lower than as a mage due to low suviability. I found her counter Annie and Teemo and even with the Rappen and flash has low escape mechanism. As a bug i found Cocoon doesn't reveal stealthed enemies as Shaco or Teemo (haven't tried on anything else). ?
