current Shamans : updated totem stack request

[Taliesin]

I know it's been discussed a few times, but I didn't see a final, authoritative answer...

Is it still possible to stagger tremor and cleansing totems to interleave their effects?

I've been looking, but haven't found a definitive answer either. However, I have seen comments from others that have tried with multiple tremors totems that say they "feel" that the fears are getting removed much faster with staggered drops. Could just be that they got lucky on the timing, so I have trouble considering that definitive. Strong evidence, at best.

One test scenario might be staggered cleansing totems and a rogue constantly applying poison affects to you. If it always gets removed in about 1 second, then that's about as definitive as you can get, at least for cleansing. Tremor can follow the same scenario with Priest/Lock/Warrior fears, but need to be cautious of diminishing returns (max 3 fears every 30s, last one only lasting a couple seconds anyways).

Alas, I only have one shaman, so I can't just set up these test scenarios without enlisting more help.

Since the poison and disease cleansing totems have now been combined into a single totem, I seriously doubt that's really your current totem macro....

If it is, you need to update it because your castsequences will stall at the unknown totem.

It looks like all-in-one now as Cleansing Totem aye? Thanks for all the thoughts here. I also plan to use one of the Totem addons, even if only running 3 or 4 shamans. Just seems that (in combination with good macros) it would make things a bit easier.

I use TotemTimers on all of my shamans, they automatically make a macro for you, and it changes when you change what totems you want to drop.
My ui looks like this with it:

Timer shows right below the totem(above the fire ele cd that You can see in ss), its nice, also shows when totems like disease/tremor tick
