If you see a hunter or rogue in your fight, you'll probably want to keep your poison cleansing totem down. It only procs every 5 seconds though, so you'll probably need to use your other poison to keep cleansed.
If you're restoration spec'd, then it's much more mana efficient to chain-cast Poison Cleansing Totem. It's cheaper than Cure Poison if you have at least 3 points in Totemic Focus (or whatever it's called...>.<).
Cure Poison: 203 Mana
Poison Cleansing Totem with 3 points in Totemic Focus (or w/e): 200 mana
3 mana may not be a lot, but hell, it sure is easier to cast your totem and also dispel any poisons that may be on your partners than to slowly target all of your parnters and Cure Poison them manually.
To the OP: If I don't see a hunter/rogue, I'll usually keep up Mana Spring Totem, Mana Tide Totem when the CD is up, or even that ol' level 50 class quest trinket, Ancestral Mana Spring Totem (I switch out trinkets by going ooc when I can and drinking/chaning gear).
And you should definitely take the 5 points in Restorative Totems. They're quite useful, especially in PvE. Either way...it's the pre-requisite for Mana Tide Totem. So you kinda have to get them! ;)
