This Thing You Call Aggro.

And Hunters -- does wonders for crit rate and DPS. Our regular Hunter groupmate gets so happy to see a Shammy with Grace of Air that we get treated to a PB&J-Time dance party after most every encounter. :)

I think we are talking about two different totems - the old Air-Totem argument of Windfury vs. Grace of Air.

Grace of Air is an Agility buff - this helps Rogues' and Hunters' attack power, all melee and ranged crit rates, and block and dodge rates. I don't know if it helps with Hit rate or Parry rate.

Windfury is a main-weapon buff - a 20% chance to have an extra swing whenever you swing, with added attack power. This helps melee damage as well as warrior Rage generation. This works on all melee weapons including (?) Druid's cat-claws and bear-paws and pet-attacks, but would not help a hunter at all in ranged combat, and overwrites main-weapon (but not off-weapon) temp-buffs like sharpening/weighting stones and poisons.

So I'd say hunter's would be far from exstatic from a Windfury totem, and a Rogue might be happy with either, depening on how much poison they want to use.

My regular group is Shaman-Warrior-Druid. None of us get a terrific benefit from Agility (it's my lowest stat), but I've tried using both Air totems in our group, and for our situation, Windfury is generally better. As usual, other Air totems (besides Windwall, useless) are appropriate in some situations - in particular, boss-mobs who debuff, Mana-Burners, and Fear casters generally demand Grounding.

I know this is deviating further and further from the topic, but I am enjoying both the original discussion and this shaman-thread.
