I currently have all 3 sets in my possions. It feels like Earth of the might is best suited for fire or cold damage. It includes no chest piece after all.
IK set might be good for lightning or physical damage? How would u use Reakors set?
Off-topic: Are you/were you also a Guild Wars 2 player? That's the only place I've seen the term "meta" used like this.
On-topic: You can rune Earthquake to do fire, cold, or lightning damage, although the lightning rune seems rather weak with the Earth set.
Raekor's set will always make Furious Charge deal fire damage, I think. However, you could still design your other skill choices around a different theme. If you're doing boulder toss, you probably care less about the damage from Charge and more about the physical damage from Boulder Toss.
IK set doesn't really benefit from cold, but you can do fire for a damage-focused build or lightning if you're using Together as One. Otherwise, physical sorta works for them. For IK set, moreso than Raekor's, your other skills will probably impact your element more than Call of the Ancients (unless you're doing fire/tasker and theo/etc.).
Sesimic Slam and Hammer of the Ancients can be runed to fit pretty much any element as spender, assuming you actually like the benefits the runes grant you.
Edit: As a lightning (whirlwind) barb player myself, I'm not really interested in the Raekor's and Might of the Earth sets for that character. I am interested in IK though, more for the 3 piece bonus than the 4 piece - although I may as well eventually incorporate the 4 piece bonus when I find enough pieces.

IK doesn't really matter at all. I don't depend on COTA for damage really since the AI on the ancients is horrible. I just want my Fury.
Earth set Fire is by far the best. Ice if you want to be ridiculously defensive (no point).
