I have played around elemental ranger today and i noticed the following:

It seems that shooting enemies that bleed their own element doesn't deal extra damage to them.
I shot an earth elemental that was standing on top of ooze , and i dealt no extra earth or poison damage to him, its like the trait is canceled in that case.
Then i went and tested it on the snow wardens, they bleed frost around them, and again after i shot them there was no bonus water damage dealt, so i didn't heal them.

A nice thing i did notice is that if u shoot enemies that stand on a pool of blood, u deal extra shadow damage to them.
Maybe its only me but it seems elemental ranger doesn't proc elemental attacks which the enemy is healing from them,it simply doesn't add any kind of damage at all.
i haven't tested it on fire-immune opponents, since they are so rare to come by anyway, and the only ones that comes to my mind right now are the fire demon, but il see if the same can be said against a fire immune enemy.
Also the extra damage is quiet big....50 extra elemental damage at level 11, on a crossbow that deals up to 120 damage...pretty big difference.
Also if u weave an elemental attack before normal attack, say, shooting frost arrow at a fire elemental and then follow up by normal hit, causes major damage.
Honestly, the amount of enemies that u encounter in the game that bleed their element anyway is rather small.
Demons are rare, elementals as well, and the only area that is inhabited by most of these is hiberheim, rest of the game is about goblins, humans orcs and animals.
i don't count the cyseal zone because elemental ranger usually comes to play at level 11, which is when u start venturing towards hiberheim.
This is the first time i tested this talent myself, i never picked it in my other 2 playthroughs because of the huge negatives from players, but now my mind has really changed over this one, its really good, i really don't understand the hate train on this one.
besides, it works ever better with crossbows.
