i gotta say, the more testing you do on this totem the more strange things you discover.

but to keep it relatively concise, as far as i can tell, it does prioritize stormstrike over targets without debuffs what so ever. however, it does not prioritize its attacks to a stormstriked target (or stormstriked + flame shocked) over a flame shocked one, only over one without either debuff, which is what i'm guessing you're experiencing. so this means that any time you spread your flame shock, as the spec is intended to be played, you're lucky if your searing totem is hitting the right target. what is the priority really doing for me if every target is flame shocked and it's just picked at random between those targets? (it isn't actually random as i've discovered, but it effectively is for the player as it's not something we can change)

i can't say for certain if this is a bug, possibly it should be a somechanges issue, but i don't see any negatives with changing this because it fixes almost all the searing totem issues for enhancement and it's not relevant to other specs

I agree on this being "SomeChanges" and will require more digging before validity, making a ticket
