Enhancement RelicFollow

So, I'm starting to be able to take my Enhancement Shaman raiding (as my alt), and I was looking through gear trying to decide what drops I'd want to bid for. I came across Totem of Dueling from Instructor Razuvious. Now, I looked at the EJ site and their theorycrafting if you will on Relics. They put Deadly Gladiator's Totem of Indomitability as best, followed by Totem of Dueling, and finally Totem of Splintering.

On the other hand, I went to maxdps.com, and the Stonebreaker's Totem from level 70 is still valued as the best Enhancement Totem, which the EJ thread did not take into account. maxdps though does not include the Deadly Glad's Totem in its listing, but after the Stonebreaker's ranks Splintering BEFORE Dueling: the opposite of EJs.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me one way or the other which Totem I should be going for here. I bought Splintering not long ago and trashed my old Stonebreaker's, but if that one is still the best, I'd like to know so I can go acquire a new one. Also like to know where Dueling stands so I know whether or not to spend my DKP on it should it drop.

Thanks for any replies in advance :D

EDIT: put Totems in the wrong order, lol. Also, I'm not doing any Arenas for gear with this toon, so the DGT is out of the question.

I don't claim to be an expert on any count but after reading on various sites, I decided to not bother with the Splintering one and keep on using my Stonebreakers. After acquiring the Dueling one (defaulted to me as the only Shaman) and trying it out, it really doesn't feel much better or worse than Stonebreakers. Of course things will probably change with the coming patch and I think I heard there will be new totems as well.

I'd say not to do anything extreme until after the experts have had a chance to really work out what the best totem is post-patch.

KK although my shaman is resto spec. i did some testing myself with the different totems.

Stonebreaker gave me a higher dps than splintering.

I believe it's because of the buff uptime. Stonebreaker give a chance to increase ap every shock, while windfury procs much lesser. I also believe totem of dueling will give a higher dps than the both.

I did this testing on my own shaman so maybe you would like to try it out yourself
