I've not played a shaman above 40 so I'm not going to comment on changes.
But if Blizzard _really_wanted to screw multibox shamans then they'd make totem placing be targeted. i.e. Click on button then click where you want the totem to go...
It would be interesting because it would make using totems more tactical rather than the fire and forget drop you have now, but it would _really_screw boxers.
Be careful what you wish for.
