Right, I overlooked that :)

If you have 10 HP and 2 DR your cover DR is 12, I think. I like the injury cap being the cover cap, just can't find it in book.

How would you set it apart statistically from Body of Water which also lacks DR?

I think no matter what you would always add DR if they had it. A fire elemental should provide its 10 DR as cover against fire attacks, as an example, and an earth elemental should provide its 2 DR (hadn't noticed that, didn't stand out due to line split) too.
The issue might be that HP doesn't apply toward it though, which sounds sad for the Air/Water elementals. We know water can slow down bullets and I would figure that someone throwing a fireball through a water elemental at you should diminish it at least by 1.
