I'm sorry I found these comments very misguided. As is common, a lot of the pain of nerfings won't be felt until 70. If you aren't playing a 70 it can be difficult to empathize, however you should also keep in mind--most of us aren't leveling, we are playing max level characters and we care what is happening at 70.

"I'm leveling an Elemental Shaman right now. How about some discussion of best places to level solo? Best ways to convince groups to hook up with you (for quests OR instances)? Totem-selection tactics in different fights, and what do with a mob who's immune to your Fire totems?"

WowInsider, please please please do not provide articles on best places to level solo--there are any number of online leveling guides that have already covered this type of information. Do not attempt to reinvent the wheel as I think a good majority of your readership are playing 70s.

Also the comment about "convincing a group to hook up with you" right there decries the problems with the class and spec.

Totems have been covered in a previous article I believe, and as for fire resist mobs--better use a different totem. There is no other trick. There are likewise totem guides on other sites (including WoW main)--there is no need to reinvent the wheel here.
