Elise is actually a very potent mid laner and jungler.

The issue is that her strengths really shine in the top lane. Her poke that was meant to bully mid laners is much better for melee top bruisers and her potent jungling utility is utilized to go for kills, out trade, and escape ganks instead of jungling. [It doesn't help that her %health damage lets her get away with super tanky builds like those you see on Akali and Katarina.]

It's not that she is bad for the roles -- the tools she was given to perform those roles are just better used in the top lane.
