I think you can make an equal argument for both sides. No set bonus will be enough to turn the tide of a raid encounter (or at least make it exceptionally rare). I've always sided on the restoration set "if I could just have 1" because I don't care if I'm not top 5 in DPS. Being a sub-par healer has WAY bigger consequences than only being #7 on DPS. As long as I don't do embarrassingly low DPS, I'm fine with what I have until I get the proper gear. I don't believe playing elemental in top level resto gear will let you do embarrassingly low dps unless you're just not good at being elemental.

The real question is which spec are you more often asked to be in the higher end content, your Ele spec or your Resto spec? Personally, I tend to end up switching to Resto simply because it's easier to justfiy your spot and have semi-decent heals (easily hidden if you've got other competent healers on hand) than to easily be identified as an expendable DPS.
Personally, I'd just gear up on Resto so that it's easier to PuG for now. When 3.3 hits, you can do either and reap the benefits either way much faster with the new LFG interface.
