Hello again guys,
Well as I have been playing for awhile now. I have found that I hardly ever cast a fire totem. The occasional fire Nova for the AoE is one thing. And when I am alone I always cast searing totem. But in a party I find myself lacking in drops in that department.
I not elemental so I do not get the Wrath totem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Fire totems are probably our least used totem in group PvE. At 70 you will get your Fire Elemental which is just insane but other than that the uses of the fire totem are limited. As you said the occasional AoE opportunity and searing for boss fights and soloing. Also consider Flametongue Totem if you are using WoA/GoA rather than WF Totem.
Now that 2.3 is out, once you get higher levels, Searing Totem becomes pure awesome. Boss fights, any pulls with no CC, solo'ing, whatever. It's incredible damage.
And once you get 70, nothing quite beats Fire Elemental + Bloodlust during the burn phase of a boss. Our current strat in Mag and Solarian is just that, and now that our enhance and resto shammies will be betting huge spell damage boosts, it'll be even better :D

the only truly useful fire totems are ToW (Raids) and Fire elemental (I F*CKING CANT WAIT FOR THIS GUY!!!! 4 LEVELS TO GO!!!)

That's not really true at all. Searing Totem is, as I said, incredible damage. Completely untalented and naked it's 29dps for 1740 total damage. With decent raiding gear of say 1400 healing and an 11/x/4x build, and WoA out, it's about 3.5k damage at an insane 22.4dpm. For an enhance shammy it'll be less damage, and elemental it'll be more. That'll add up over 8-12 minute fights with 2-3 shammies all with them out.

That's a pretty silly comment from an Elem Shaman, the damage from the totems get's boosted considerably by your +damage gear. Situationally they are ALL extremely useful.
Even as enhancement I saw a considerable DPS increase (moved me up 2 spaces on the DM's) just by keeping searing down all the time. For elemental the DPS boost is HUGE.
Also keep in mind that the fire elemental is on a 20 min cooldown. It is an awesome DPS boost for AoE pulls and a great tool for the burn phase in a boss fight but overall it is probably less useful than searing totem.
