Totem of Wrath stacking

[Aradar]

Here is the question that nobody is asking.

What are you going to get INSTEAD of Totem of Wrath? You can't just say NS, because you'd still be losing Thunderstorm. I guess one Shaman will have ToW in my group, then the others will drop searing totems or something?

Well they are talking about re-designing ToW again so it depends on what the new rework is but I guess that can be said for the whole beta. Anyhow, I'm kind of at a loss becuase I have the holy trinity set up like you. Thunderstorm looks awesome but with the pally their I try to spec my shaman as though the pally will actually be doing his job and with that assumption, thunderstorm just becomes an oh crap spell and therefore not a top priority. But at the same time, I don't really want NS either becuase the last thing I need is a Shaman doing an instant strike before my pally builds up threat.

I dunno, my 5 shaman have never prematurely NS'd themselves!

I have one keybinding for my standard chain lightning and one keybinding for my death ray macro which pops EM + NS + trinkets + CL. So using that macro requires me to press my green-layer shift button on my n52 before it fires.

Yeah, but between my pally spells, shaman heals and shaman attacks, my n52 is full unless I start using muliple layers. Plus for my abilities such as NS, I just throw them in the macros to be used whenever available which would lead to "premature" NSs. In addition, you have 5 guys doing the same thing, does it really matter where the threat lies? Having only 3 dps shaman, the "death ray macro" isn't quite as usefull to me.
