SOLO - Elemental Shaman DPS

[lastdon]

I know this is a multiboxing site, but I'm guessing most of you know Shaman's pretty well. So I finally got a shaman to 80 and will be bringing up the other 2 shortly. My question is just for a solo elem shaman dps in relation to his totems.

What's better for getting the highest possible SINGLE TARGET dps in relation to fire totems?

1. Totem of Wrath
2. Searing Totem, (Fire Elem Totem at boss)
3. Flametongue Totem (Talented)

Questions:
As elemental I'm assuming Totem of Wrath replaces flametongue totem right? But how about if FT is talented?

If I glyph for ToW, drop it, then replace and drop Searing Totem afterwards, will that give me more dps?

Totem of Wrath should be higher single target DPS then any other option. When you glyph it, you get a buff at the point it is dropped - which lasts for five minutes.

Not sure if the ToW glyph is the best for DPS, but regardless it helps ToW, FT, Searing or Fire Elemental totems equally as much. If ToW is glyphed and dropped and then replaced with another totem, that's more dps then the other totem by itself; but ToW is probably more dps then anything you can replace it with.

For multiple mobs, Fire Elemental or another AoE totem would likely pass ToW for DPS.
