I was wondering if that earth elemental totem(and soon the fire elemental) are something i should be using in dungeon bosses i know they are a huge mana drain but they do loads of damage and with the Feral spirit wolves then I bassicly produce 3 to 4 new allys against one boss. i do wait to cast the earth elemental due to it producing insane threat when it activates. No one has commented on the random elemental yet but i am climbing in level and I dont want to be running a heroic or a raid then someone telling me i am being a dumbass for summoning it.
P.S. this is my first post on wow head ever.

is it possible to summon both elementals at the same time?

They invoke a 2 min cooldown on the other. I want to know what would happen to the EE if I popped it on a boss though, fight after my FE dies.

Wolves are always awesome of course.
The Fire Elemental Totem is a huge dps increase, you can and should use it as often as possible on bosses, both in dungeons and raids, especially since there is no really good alternative (Flametongue Totem is much weaker than the elemental Shaman version of it or the Warlock buff).
The Earth Elemental Totem usually should not be used. Your Strengh of Earth totem is just too good to pass it up. The Earth Elemental will also taunt the boss and die within a second or two. Its damage is only minor and not really worth it. You should't use it in any raid. It is mainly useful when solo questing elite mobs since it can replace a tank for a few seconds. If for some reason your tank dies in a 5man it can also be used as an emergency tank, just be prepared to see it die in around 5 seconds. Still, that might be enough to prevent a wipe.

The only use I've found for the Earth Elemental is in the third phase of HoS:Tribunal of Ages, it helps to tank the caster adds and Mechs on the right and keeps them busy so you can always get the
Brann Spankin' New
achievement.
Of course with a good tank its totally unnecessary, but still a good use for it.

Are you able to control your elemental pets, the way that Hunters and Warlocks can?

no
So, you can't even decide what they are going to attack? That seems... dangerous.

I only use EET on trash if the dies and mobs run to squishy party members.
The Earth Elemental has more HP (I'm sure) than the Fire Elemental so is suitable for backup tanking. It can also be healed.
Earth Elemental - Aggros alot, more HP than Fire Elemental.
Fire Elemental - Less HP than Earth Elemental, more damage than Earth Elemental.
Just like a hunter pet having growl turned on, EET should only be used in emergencies to off-tank.

Not entirely. Those Elemental Totem are bound to their Totem, that limit how far they can go. I believe they able reach up to 45 yards? correct me if I am wrong.
Actually 30 yards i tested it lol
