TotemTimers

20 - The usefulness is gone in r11!

I have used r11, and I just switched back to 9.1k.  It seems some major parts of the usefulness are gone!

- The reason for trying it out was to check out TT's version of the Call of Elements handling and such.  But it does not exist that I could find.  Either the ability to define a set, or cast one.
- There is no way to re-order totems within the element fly-outs (I like having the more commonly used ones closer to the buttons).
- The flyouts seem to expect the bars to be a certain size, so when they're shorter (eg. the shield flyout), the last buttons are just corrupted images.
- The shields now require right-clicking the menu and selecting the correct shield - with no way of defining the default left-click behavior (I'm a healer, having the thing always do windfury when I left-click is annoying!).  I really liked the ability to define left/right click behavior, but if you can now only do left-click, at least let it be definable and alterable by spec (ie. earthliving for spec 1, flametongue for spec 2).
- The recast last totem option - why is this gone?  Especially with totem sets this is important, I might want to cast my standard set, but then for a specific fight, or part of one, have a different totem out (eg. tremor or cleansing) - the ability to recast this totem, even though it is not part of my current totem set is important, and not convenient to find it in the fly-out in the middle of a battle.

I understand the code is Alpha, but I don't really see why you decided to take out some of the functionality that was already working, and from what I can see, did not need to be touched.

    "even though it is not part of my current totem set is important, and not convenient to find it in the fly-out in the middle of a battle."

    The recast option didn't work in combat (it's not possible to change the spells assigned to an addon button based on a spell cast by default blizz buttons or some other addons in combat). To have a totem as recast you have to select/cast it before combat. That made sense when you were casting your totems you use for the fight before the fight one by one anyway to have them stand there when combat begins. But now it seems odd to me to cast a totem before combat just to be able to cast it at the start of the combat again with your other totems.
