the argument is the totem killing should be an effort... while dropping totems shouldn't. hmm.
I think the argument is that Shaman have to burn 4 global cool downs to prepare for battle, while the opponent just spent four global cool downs beating on you.

All other classes can prepare for battle prior to actual combat. Shaman can... but then they can't move.
I think this is what it comes down to as well. When I'm pvp'ing on my shaman team playing say AV. While we are pushing the alliance back towards SPGY, by the time I drop all 4 sets of totems the front line has moved out of reach of the totems and it's time to move up and set them down again.
