When in a group with a restoration druid or a balance druid, the best totems to use are Wrath of Air Totem, Mana Spring Totem, and Flametongue Totem.
If healing, you can usually ignore Death Kinghts with aggro due to their high armor.Otherwise, same totems as you would when grouped with a Rogue or Hunter. Instead, swap out to Stoneskin or Tremor Totem. Since Death Knights have Horn of Winter, Strength of Earth Totem is not as useful.When in doubt, use Grounding Totem in boss encounters.There are times where the puller aggros a caster, who starts casting and ruining the pull. When you're in an instancing group, watch the puller's target and get ready to Wind Shear.Frost shock is best for this, because it is instant, doesn't have a DoT, it slows target and generates extra threat towards the higher-armour player to boot. This is especially true when Crowd Control breaks and a mob as it will run right at them when the CC wears off. Cloth wearers ( Mages, Priests, and to a lesser extent Warlocks) might like a Frost Shock to get their mob's attention if they get aggro.Be wary of Crowd Control when casting Chain Lightning or AoE totems.Also, Tremor Totem doesn't cancel all fears, so don't yell at us if we don't have one down. If you want a shaman to drop a specific totem, just ask politely.They do cost mana and time, but with Call of the Elements, shamans can drop their totems fast taking away from the frustration of tank running out of their range. If a shaman drops totems, whether in combat or just outside aggro range of the next group to kill in an instance, it's helpful to fight within the limited range of those totems rather than outside of them.A raid leader should not hesitate to ask a shaman with dual talents to change their role to best serve a raid. Much like Druids, shamans should bring multiple gear sets, and use Dual Talent Specialization to quickly toggle between specs.Enhancement shamans will greatly increase your group's melee DPS, because of Unleashed Rage and Windfury Totem.Shamans can make capable off-tanks at lower levels.Chain Heal is extremely mana efficient, and arguably the Resto shaman's most powerful spell. Shamans are capable healers for large groups of people taking damage in raids.Elemental and/or Enhancement shamans typically come in guns blazing at the beginning of a fight.Things Shamans want Non-Shamans to know Shamans and groups 2 Things Non-Shamans want Shamans to know.1 Things Shamans want Non-Shamans to know.
