Very good totem. Especially for 10 man healing where i usually use RT,LHW,LHW

Also on top of that since tier10 bonus is (2) Set: Your Riptide spell grants 20% spell haste for your next spellcast within 10 sec you will use Riptide very often anyway.

I bought and tried this out. It's wonderful when it's at three stacks, but I found it surprisingly difficult to maintain. I use Riptide as often as possible, and I even got 2 pieces of tier 8 to reduce to CD to 5 seconds, but whether you're in the heat of battle using a lot of GCD's or running to the next trash mob in heroics, it'll take you a minimum of 10 seconds to activate the full proc bonus, and that proc will be the fastest 15 seconds in your life.

I personally use the Totem of the Third Wind right now and I'm finding it's much better than this for Heroics; for raids, this is better than Totem of Calming Tides if you can maintain it.

I thought this was less difficult to maintain than the 264 Elemental totem however, so if you're looking for something to spend your frost embs on, this is it.

How can the proc stack 3 times when you can't cast riptide 3 times in 15 seconds considering a 6 sec cooldown? Haste does not effect (non-global) cooldowns.

I know you guys are all determined to find the "best" item to wear, but have you thought about maybe using different sets depending on the fight? This is an awesome totem on fights where raid damage is sporadic, especially with the 2 set bonus of t10. However, in fights with a lot of raid wide damage, this totem loses its luster.

I know I'm going to pick this totem up, but I'm still saving my totem of the calming tides. Blizz gave us a built in Equipment Manager, I suggest some of you try it out for something other than dual specs. I hate how everyone thinks healing can be cookie cuttered. Some fights you want more haste, some you want more mp5 and int. Hell, I even have some pieces with hit available, so I'm not totally useless when no one needs heals.

I found the buff infinitely easier to maintain by using a timer in the addon Power Auras Classic. However, if you have Solace of the Fallen/Defeated, you'll run into problems in that both buffs are named Energized. Instead of checking by the name Energized, use the texture of the totem's buff:

Hope this saves someone the time it took me to figure it out.

I recently got the 2pc bonus, and since seeing that bonus in action, I've reformed my opinion of this totem a bit.

There is no way I could spare the time healing ICC to drop a Flame Shock, especially with no hit, and no guarantee. And haste is nice, but I lose the benefit if I have to concern myself with non-healing spells.

Ever since I've started healing ICC heroics I've been wanting to use Riptide more, and the set bonus plus this totem, it makes sense to have this up for a lot of ICC raid encounters where Chain Heal is very effective. (I can't think of a fight except possibly Sindragosa, the Blood Princes, and maaaybe Dreamwalker where it's not a good idea to use Chain Heal.) Caster low? Riptide. Tank low? Riptide and then Healing Wave (which with Wrath of Air, Tidal Waves, and the bonus, is as fast as an old Lesser Healing Wave, albeit not as mana efficient). Need more Chain Heal? Riptide every time it's up, and your chain heal is even more effective.

After I'm done with the four piece bonus, I'm definitely getting this totem.

This glyph is most useful for 10 mans and heroics. In 25 mans, if you're using riptide, odds are that the increase to SP isn't something you'll need too much since there most likely isn't going to be much heavy healing. Spamming chain heal is how we heal heavy, and if you're doing that, wasting a GCD for a riptide could easily cause a few people to die when they need the heals the most. Let the pallies focus on the tank heals, that's what they're designed for anyway. It is every healer's job to keep the tanks up too, yes, but it isn't our main priority, nor is it what you bring a shaman into the raid for.

And then there's the fact that you don't really need more SP than you get off your gear for heroics... 10 mans maybe, but that has to do more with what your guild mainly runs. In general, gearing for heroics is stupid, although i'd say that this totem would be a good thing to spend 30 emblems on once you can't spend it on much else.
