Thats where HTT comes in, and AG/Asc if you talent it. We're lucky to have a few raid CD choices so if you need to use SLT on a tank then its not THAT bad.
I miss totem projection with SLT, I mean its nice you just automatically can set it, but I did enjoy being able to place it at my feet, then after a couple seconds, throw it to the melee or where ever and share its benefit some if its not 100% stacked up group. Also now sometimes I hit the button and nothing happens, so when my /say macro of "Socialism Totem Down!" is said, but the Totem isnt actually down yet, I look dumb
So maybe Im just more mad about the synergy of that macro being messed up more than anything, DONT JUDGE ME
