Changes-
1.6
TotemCaddy now works in 3.2. I haven't added the new totem functionality yet, but that will be in by the end of the Summer.
If you are bilingual and would like to see TotemCaddy in your language, let me know and I'll give you some sentences to translate. It would help me and a lot of non English speakers out a lot.
One small caveat with 1.3--Unfortunately with patch 3.0.8, Blizzard changed some of the API dealing with delayed actions with secure frames. As a result, it is no longer possible to have the rotem rotation delay a second after you click on the totems to account for the 1 second cooldown of your totems. The totems rotate immediately after you click them. It's not a huge deal, and Blizz says they're working on a way to fix this in future patches, but for now we hafta deal with it. No, there is nothing I can do to bring it back, please do not ask me to change it back as it is impossible. Sorry for the inconvenience.
On a lighter note, I've been working on TotemCaddy 2.0 which will have all sorts of new widgets and features.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
TotemCaddy is a fresh Totem Management mod specifically designed to be user-friendly, and quick and easy to use.
This mod is meant to be the only mod a Shaman needs for all Shaman specific utilities.
Features of TotemCaddy:
-Extensive totem management utilities that makes totem dropping rotations much simpler.

-Alerts you when you enter combat without an elemental shield or weapon imbuement, and lets you know when they fade.
-Displays purged spells.
-Has simple buttons for many shaman spells, such as ghost wolf, elemental shields, and weapon imbuements.
-Keybindings using the default WoW UI.
-Customizable backgrounds.

Three ways:

When hidden, the TotemCaddy main frame will not be visible, but you will still be notified of Totem Deaths, Purged Spells, Buffs Fading, and Damage Totals if you have those options on. Also the slash commands will be functional.

ENABLING: To enable TotemCaddy, doing anything that will make TotemCaddy shown, or type "/totemcaddy enable" or uncheck the box in the menu labeled "Disable TotemCaddy". NOTE: If you enable TotemCaddy, but you had previously set it to hidden, then it will not be shown, only the notifications will work. To show TotemCaddy, see the paragraph two above this one.

If there's any question not answered here, let me know.
Due to the amount of requests, I'm going to be implementing several new features to TotemCaddy in the coming months.
SOON TO COME:
-New spells for the small circle spell buttons: Totemic Call, Cleanse Spirit, Tidal Force (Lemme know if there's any others you want).
-Ability to take schools out of the rotation (To only have, say, Earth and Air totems in the rotation).
-Savable totem sets.
-The ability to lock a totem set in so you don't accidently scroll away from it
-The ability to turn of the totem rotation
Lemme know what other features you guys want, I live to serve.
I plan on leveling my main to 80 before implementing any of these updates. (Mod authors play WoW too!)
