Ouch, I did not realize a grounding totem ate all five CLs. If I staggered one a millisecond ahead of the others, would it kill it in time?
Depends. The spell has to reach the totem and actually kill it before the buff is removed from the shaman. Instant casts without a visible flight time are great for this (like DoTs) unlike lightning bolts which hurtle through the air.

As for healing, I'm going to lay down the 5 healing streams, keep up Bloodlust, and use a mix of Healing Wave and LHW on whatever target they are focus firing, in between shocks and CLs. Five Healing Waves will heal any shaman to full, even with MS debuff. Warriors will always be my first target to kill if they get inside 36 yards, to prevent MS in the first place.
This is true, but it also burns through your mana and you have zero spell pushback resistance on your heals (i.e. rank 1 Arcane Explosion?). Furthermore, if you're healing, you're not DPSing, which is just holding off the inevitable once you go OOM.
