No way that Elementalist is making it into Top 4 most played. Trends don't change much from one MMO to another, the squishy mage classes are never played much even though they are usually great in both PVE and PVP. In no particular order I'd say the top 4 would be:
Necro - Warlock / Survival style caster, will naturally be extremely powerful in 1v1 along with having the "evil" feeling to it.
Warrior - Biggest selection of weapons + heavy armor and top HP, very likely selection for people who favor melee
Ranger - The type of class thats considered to have a very cannon RPG feeling and very favored by solo players due to the use of pets
Guardian - A great selection of DPS/Defense/Healing abilities, while all classes have DPS and Support abilities the guardians have the largest selection to choose from. Also have the classic paladin feeling with Melee/ Heavy Armor / Healing that's very overplayed in other MMOs.
you know for now elementalist is the most played class with warrior very close ?
elementalist can take insane of damage depend on weapons/traits/skills, is far far from be squishy. a elementalist with 2k toughness 12k health +500 healing can take lot and lot of damage

I would rank them as follows:
1. Elementalist
2. Warrior
3. Guardian
4. Ranger
5. Necro
6. Mesmer
7. Thief
8. Engineer
