Totems should not be considered the same as spells, at least for elemental shamans. The reason resto shamans are so over powered in arenas is because of their mastery, tone that down a little bit and leave the rest of the specs alone. I understand that this makes resto more on par with pallys, but you shouldnt make this a class wide change. Only resto needs to be toned down, not elemental and enhancement. At the moment elemental has no defensive cds and no passive damage reduction like spriests and boomkins. Elemental needs something all classes have, a defensive cd thus making elemental the least viable. Im losing to trash warriors, hunters and mages all because they can hurr durr damage and blanket silence plus they have very strong defensive cds. I cant stand losing to terrible 1600 players because warriors and mages can hit over 300k and i dont even have a defensive cd to stop the damage. Okay, i get it, blizzard thinks that only having warriors, hunters and mages one shotting people all the time is fair. Oh and demo locks are absurd as well. If you go through with the totem change elemental will be completely useless in arenas. If blizzard cares at all about the people throwing crazy amounts of money at them look at this post and consider changing what is really needed...
