WF, WF totem and UIFollow

I tried to post the WF and WF totem question earlier, but for some reason (probably hit the wrong button) it got lost in cyberspace.

I'm playing my first Shamam, and really enjoying it.

My Shammy is level 32, and I just picked up my windfury totem. If I have WF on my mace (speed is 2.4 on this one) does it do any good to put down a WF totem if I'm solo? If the weapon WF procs, will that stop the totem from proccing, or vice versa?

I had a question about talents at my level, but think I've found a pretty good answer to that question in another thread.

Now for my UI question...with all my totems, spells and abilities; I have 5 action bars (normal, bottom left, bottom right, right 1 and right 2) almost full. I have my most used things (auto attack, LB, LS, shocks, etc.) toward the center of of the three bottom bars, less often used or less critical toward the outside of those three bars. Seldom used things are on the two right bars (just so I don't have to scroll through the hidden bars ar the bottom).
How do I clean this mess up?

Thank you.

As far as I know the two buffs do not stack, nor do any weapon buffs. This means that if you and a rogue were in a party and you have windfury on your weapons and the rogue has poisons, dropping a Windfury Totem will do nothing.

Not sure how you would clean up your UI, mainly because I feel it is a personal thing. I have the UI set up so I can use it. It works for me, so I can't tell you how it will work for you. (I know that sounds lame, but its all I got)

The above poster answered the WF/WF totem question correctly; weapon buffs do not stack with each other (currently they don't). Weapon buffs include, but are not limited to, weapon oil, Sharpening stones, Weight stones, rogue poisons, Windfury, Rockbiter, Flametongue, Frostbrand (and their respective totems). Druids can use weapon buffs, but they have NO EFFECT if they are in bear or cat form.

For the UI problem, it sounds like you're about as far as you can take it with standard WoW UI. I would suggest trying to get some actionbar add-ons. While i cannot remember the names at the moment, i use bongos and have found it very easy to figure out, use, and keybind.

For us Shamans our totems take huge portion of our UI space. My solution was totem addon that released all the space my totems were taking.

Download this

That will sort your totems in 4 button rows according to totem family. Originally that addon had buttons around my char but I moved those on top of my action bar to open upwards, use "/coe config"
You can change the order of totems and amount of totems shown (when you move mouse over button it'll open all totems in that family). I use 3 totems shown per family so that most used totems are always available fast.

Tadaa! 20(?) slot more space in your action bars and if ya wish to have some totems in normal action bars, just put those higher end of that addon so they dont bother you (or close them from addon). This addon also has more uses but you'll notice them when installed. Enjoy.

Thank you all for clearing these things up for me. I now know how WF works, and downloaded call of the wild last night. My UI looks much better now.
