Honestly I find it hard to micro-manage my totems, I have a tendancy to be pretty focussed on DPS (probably why I let my alts die when a simple grounding sequence or heal sequence would fix them up[ XD) so I use a castsequence so that I drop my stoneclaws and then immediatly put down 1 earthbind 1 tremor 1 stoneskin and another tremor totem. yes it unstaggers the totems but the shield is worth it.
