Possibly, although I doubt that the goblins would've been important enough to have caused a change in game mechanics, as I have farmed goblins and other BWL trash mobs with three to five man groups. Even without the totems, you can just have one person bouncing around in front of the goblins. The goblins will keep throwing their explosives at the nearby player (and keep missing) while the raid aoe's the goblins down. The totems just make it so you don't even need to do that.
