You don't get Totemic Call until level 30...

so you may not have access to it yet.

My Shammies wiped in the Deadmines on our first tip through when, post-combat, a Searing Totem on the middle deck decided it would be a good thing to shoot at the Captain's patrol... and no Reincarnation until L30 either
