Besides blizzard and freeze the other elements are aoe, that and their damage isn't to match the thunder combo (flare DoT is nice though).

Or further that if WHM is fighting stone weak monsters it probably means its resistant to lightning (if irc Earth strong aganist -> Lightning which means stone weak monster would be a lightning element being strong aganist lightning elements).

So advantage.. no - BLM will be inferior in those situations. Like gnats which are lightning element.
