Shaman just doesn't have enough totem support right now in standard to beat other diamond ranked decks.  In wild, totems are insane. But this is a standard deck.

I figure Blizzard has to be planning more totems in the next set.  Until then, totem shaman doesn't work unless you play it for fun.

I haven't tried this deck but I just have a gut feeling the totems will just keep dying no matter how much you spam them. It's not 2015. These little buggers can't be enough to stave off any progressive board control, and counting on the games in which I'll have Denath since early enough and live enough to do something with doesn't seem enough. At least throw in Taelan Fordring to tutor Denath.

Also the battlecry synergies to battlecry minion ratio seems too large, making the synergy cards likely dead. 
I'd love if this deck could work so if it gains traction it would be fair to try it. But I don't think it's even fun. 

Even/totem shaman in wild is nuts. I'm seriously considering grafting Genn again to play it. 

Whats the point of Bru'kan of the Elements if we boosting totems?

just a good card that goes in pretty much all shaman decks right now, I think. 

Totems are not supported enough to fill out a deck as well. The best version I've seen is a hybrid of Murlocs and Totems as well, they seem to work well together and I think actually makes both decks better (TBH I'm crap with Murloc Shaman though so probs not the best person to make that evaluation)

I forget who made the murloc hybrid, but I can find it for you if you want, as i was watching it youtube a few days ago. 

In short though, the hero card is just good tempo and really has a place in all shaman decks that are not an OTK.
