Holy SHAMAN-COW, Batman!
Greetings from your neighborhood hunk of totem-flingin’ beef, Ungulataur. I clicked on the talent preview for the expansion (I highly recommend you do the same) and discovered to my delight that everyone’s pretty much getting a shot of steroids (or in Tauren’s case: you guessed it, STEERoids).
Totem of Wrath: 20yd range, 20sec duration, improves friendly spell-casters’ chance to crit by 10%.
Totemic Mastery: the radius of effect on friendly targets by your totems is increased by 30yds.
Obviously, Blizzard wants shamans on BOTH sides of the faction fraction to get their shamans raiding but this is ridiculous. By the way, Enhancement shamans get DUAL WIELD. That’s right ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we clearly have a case of pre-meditated un-nerfing.

I can’t believe you totally failed to mention that you get both a Fire and Earth Elemental spawned from totems…
Heh… I say “you” like I don’t have a Shaman or anything… =]

I was thinkin’ mostly about the totem in PVE raids. I think the elemental summoning totems will be more useful in PVP raids since I don’t think you can control the elementals like a warlock can his pets.
