So you decreased mana cost of totems, and increased duration. Fine, that's great, I'll take that over nothing, but it's simply a bandaid to a larger problem. With new dungeons, the game has been moving farther and farther away from "stationary" fights - more and more bosses are requiring movement over large spaces....spaces too large for totems to cover.
You say there's no totem revamp in the near future. Okay, if that's how it's going to be, then so be it....but if that is going to be the case, then I want to know something:
Do the designers see it as a problem that needs fixing when I am incapable of using the defining ability of my class - totems - in a number of encounters with any sort of efficiency?
Is it a problem to them that we practically become weak priests during Ossirian, Twin Emps, Ayamiss (I'm not sure if targetting totems has been fixed), Fankriss' hallway, Razorgore, or Sartura? The list could keep going if others want to add, and I'm sure it will get longer with Naxxrammas' release.

We appreciate all the feedback we've received concerning the Shaman's totems. We don't believe the current totem system is as "broken" as it's currently being made out, despite a few recently implemented encounters that make totem-use a little bit awkward. With that being said, we will be looking into "quality of life" improvements. Such as UI showing which totems are currently active, and a means to destroy active totems etc...
Also, it should be known that we have currently decided against having totems affect the entire raid group. There are a few reasons for this, but primarily we don't want to decrease the number of Shaman desired in raids.
