New Drenai Shaman (Questions)

Ok...

So I like the idea of leveling a shaman and having some fun with the various totem combinations, specs, and all that, and was wondering if you could help me regarding determining the absolute *MUST HAVE* addons and macros that I will need/want to use while leveling up and for end-game raiding.

I was just apprised that a shaman can have up to four totems down at once (one for each element), so any combinations to use while leveling up (solo) would be helpful, and addons and macros to help with this would be great!

Thanks in advance!

Yata for totems - gives you a button for each element with popups from there for your totems. Totemus is a Necrossis/Cryolysis type mod for shamans. And Shockolate is a new sphere-type mod, but I haven't looked at it much, personally.

Yata is a must have, i tried out totemus and it hase potential but its not user friendly imo and it basicaly does the same as Yata but Yata is the one i reccomend

Further on is Shokolate also a nice mod with potential but it hase its bugs cuz its fairly new but its definatly wearth trying out

Cool. I'll need to mess around with these.

How about macros? I know that, for my paladin, I have set up some pretty decent healing and decursing macros, as well as macros for some of the more useful blessings (such as blessing of freedom), and would like to come up with some good macros for a shaman.

I know that most casters don't like "purge" for example. A list of useful macros would be sweet to locate.

For healing and cleansing, my personal preference is to use Clique. I would use it together with Grid.

I've heard that Clique is a most awesome addon to use but have not had the opportunity to "mess" with it yet (though it is on my list).

So... how about UI layout? What aspects are the most important to keep "visible" and which aren't so important? I would think that having some bars that show the current totems up, their icon, and a diminishing feature as the timer runs out would be pretty handy to see. Not sure what addon would allow that sort of functionality?

Or how about different layouts? (one for DPS / "Shock powah" / Melee, and another for healing/decursing)

Anyone have a decent Shaman UI layout that I could look at?

Chronometer may have added timers for totems... Why don't you just start playing and figure out what your play style is and what works for you?
