Storm Totem Tank Help?

Hey all,

I'm thinking of trying out a Shaman with a focus on the Storm Totem and the rest focusing on Survivability.

Was wondering if anyone had something similar in Ultimate and working well. It doesn't have to be super fast clearing. But at least deals with it all.

I don't have top gear for this yet, so I don't have anything specific in mind. I know that it can completely change how the devotions and which skills are used depending on resistances and everything. There are some potent %lighting damage devotions (spear of heavens; tempest; blind sage). But, that's late game to get to spear of heavens or blind sage, and I can get 100%+ gear for lightning damage early in the game, like I have now. So I can probably go with the resistances and survival devotions at first, to support survival, and then as gear comes up and the resistances come up (gear, components, augments), then I can take back the devotions and move to damage devotions and see about redoing some survival skills maybe.

Or, I can convert to vitality damage and see what devotions work there that are earlier.

Playing around with ideas, here's some current ideas:

3/4 into Physique
1/4 into Spirit (for gear)

40 into Shaman mastery
1/12 Mog's Pact, 10/10 Heart of Wild
12/12 Vines, 12/12 Entangling
12/12 Wendigo, 12/12 Blood Pact
16/16 Storm Totem

40 into Soldier mastery
10/10 Military Coniditiong
10/10 Veterency
1/12 Field Command, 12/12 Squad Tactics
8/8 Decorated Soldier
8/8 Scars of Battle

I have 19 left that I can either max a mastery and fill in some more support some where, or I can have a Briarthorn pet, or I can move into shields for more tankiness.

Thoughts?

Very best,
