Do fire have any advantage comparing to poison if we do not consider resistance from enemies. Can fire give any speical function because it lasts 2 second?

I wish those element damage has their own side-effect …

PoE Reference …

Fire = Burn(Damage Overtime on player)
Ice = Freeze(slow/stop enemy)
Lightning = Shock(amplify dmg)
Poison = Chaos (toxic floor-dmg overtime on a place/area)
Arcane = Physical dmg??
