cake's pages controller is meant for static pages.
for dynamic pages, i would create a new controller, along with a
model. Although you could override the pagescontroller to extend it's
functionality offcourse.
And i think the using elements for menus is a good idea, i do it too.
Although you must be careful: if the element is called in the layout,
it will _always_ be shown when the default layout is used (hence:
probably for each section on your site)
so you must be sure the $menu variable is always set. The home action
is not the right place for that.
AppController's beforeRender function is a good place to do that.
You could even put the $this->requestAction('/menus/getMenus') right
in the menu element. It's very easy and many people do it like that
