The regular totem bar is fine for what I want. I just didn't realize it had the pop up function because I've never used the plain blizzard totem bar.

Thanks for all your help!
As mentioned, Bartender merely grabs the default bar and re-parents it to a Bartender frame. The disadvantage of this is that if you wanted the bar vertical or in two rows or what have you, you really can't. I think Tuller tries to offer this option with his own version of totem buttons which does not touch the Blizzard totem bar.

I can tell you from personal experience that replicating the default totem bar by an addon is fraught with issues as the totem bar is not well supported in the UI API from an addon author's point-of-view. My own addon does the same as Bartender and just grabs the default Blizzard totem bar and parents it to a new frame.
