At first glance I thought it would be a dumb useless idea, but the more I think about it, I think this could help with the issue with Shaman health. Even after the hp buff, I still think shaman are too squishy. A small teleport would be awesome on fights where massive AOE hurts shaman more than other classes.

if someone destroys the teleport totem right as the shaman ports would half his body be where he was and the other half be where the totem was before being destroyed or would he be trapped in limbo or what
shaman have enough escape mechanics already and as someone said above it shouldn't be as effective as the warlock's teleport which would limit it to no more than 39 yard range with a 31+ second cooldown and not be usable while CCed
shaman are fine...enough. moving on

All you people are viewing this as an escape mechanism for in-combat pvp etc. Why not make it, as i originally posted, just a fun utility spell. Give it a 10 second cast time (must not be in combat) to recall to it and let it have extreme range and duration. 30 minute duration, unlimited range, or maybe farsight range. The drawback is you lose the use of one of your totems, obviously, just like you would if you had used any other totem. Probably wind since it would carry you on the wind back to it lol.
The idea of creating basically a glorified Hearthstone Inn out of a totem is ridiculous, and the designers wouldn't waste their time coding such a mechanic into the game 'for the lulz'. For it to be taken seriously, it'd have to have similar mechanics to that of the Warlock teleport spell, and even then it would have limits set to prevent it from being abused.
An interesting idea, yes...but in the incarnation you're describing, wouldn't make it past the alpha design board.

Sentry Totem, give it a 2000 yard range, upon right-clicking the buff you can switch places with the totem up to 2 times. After that, it disappears and a 30 sec. cooldown is placed on using the totem.
Switching places cannot be done while in combat. If the totem is attacked (give it 100% of the Shaman's hitpoints) you'll get a message in your combatlog, as long as you yourself aren't in combat then you can switch to the totem instantly, and once again back if you feel the situation at the time isn't a good one to be in.
This simply means it's like that Warlock spell, except it's not an escape mechanic, because you need to be out of combat to use it.
It'd add a new dimension to the class imo ^_^
