The goal is to get a nice whirlpool going and to stir the wort to aid cooling. You don't want to splash the wort back into the BK. It will aerate the wort and disturb the smooth circular flow. It needs to be below the surface of the liquid.
The autosparge is only for volume control to make sure you dont overfill one tank or drop the fluid level below an element and burn it out. the rig in the second post of the link in my signature has another way to tackle this, gravity feed from a valve above the elements. You can never burn the elements out this way.
