Using the default Blizzard interface, a Shaman can right click on any of the totem icons below their player portrait. Doing so allows them to destroy that totem. This is very similar to how a player can dismiss any beneficial spell that has been cast upon them when right clicking it's aura icon. Elkano's BuffBars currently does NOT allow Shamans to dismiss individual totems when right clicking them. It would be really great if this could be fixed. I do know Shamans get the Totemic Recall spell, but that isn't learnable until level 30 and even when one has this spell there can be circumstances where we may not want to use it. Being able to dismiss totems is very important when it comes to controlling aggro (anyone who uses the searing totem regularly knows exactly what I'm talking about lol).

This isn't a bug since what you see in EBB aren't timers for the totems but the buffs you get from them. This are two different things. I'm really sure you wouldn't be able to dismiss them via the default buff display, too (although I didn't test that now), since both things use the same API.
Thank you for commenting. Under the default Blizzard display, active Totems appear as an icon under the players character portrait and each one can be right clicked individually to destroy that particular totem. You can try it yourself if you don't believe me. Some totems, like the searing totem for example, can pull extra mobs down on you after a fight which is why the ability to destroy them manually is very important. My wife uses IceHUD and ag_unitframes, both of which shows active totems as auras and do allow the player to dismiss them. Hopefully you can see why I was lead to assume EBB must be broken somehow. My original hope for EBB was to be able to create a new group that specifically displayed only my active totems rather than have them show up in one of the other several groups I have. I'm sorry for misjudging ElkBuffBars's capabilities and how things actually work behind the scenes. Despite this drawback, EBB is still a fantastic addon in my book. Maybe in the not too distant future you can add in this ability? Thanks again!
