So anyone have any good Shaman tactics?

I really like the shamans since they fit into my stategy as a paladin. I use haste to get my melee troops to enemy troops that I need to take out first and try to CC the rest (slow, blind, etc.). The shaman is a great CC unit. Even if the totems are instantly killed, they serve a valuable purpose, at least for my strategy--every turn that an enemy troop attacks a totem is a turn that it is not attacking you or moving closer to attacking you. You can even use them strategically to pen in a unit on occassion. Not to mention that the totem effects, when they survive, are very nice. Plus the shaman has a decent ranged damage every fourth turn via special ability (which also provides a small heal) and decent melee damage when needed.
