Another nice application for hovercasting for ranged classes is getting rid of those pesky totems. Based on Wand-users, this simple macro allows you to kill a totem without deselecting your current target:
#showtooltip
/cast [target=mouseover] Shoot
/stopcasting
Bind it to a key, move your mouse over a totem, press the key, and voilà. You’re still having your normal target selected but the totem’s gone.

Handy, what do you think of this one for those of us blessed with pets?
How convenient, I can’t find it when i need it, anywayit was pretty long and went through the most commonly used totems that could hamper your gameplay in arena and the went back to attck the focus, which would have been the shaman himself for example.
Pretty extreme length to go to in terms of the shammy can just throw most of them right back down but perfect if you whittle it down to a totem specific move, eg Tremor totem, send pet to take it out while I’m casting fear, shaman will not have enough time to replant it.
To make it work well, we need to wait for patch 2.3 which will allow to target=lasttarget.
If you want to divert your pet to do totem disposal, the best I can think of is:
/focus [modifier:none] target
/petattack [target=mouseover, harm, modifier:none]
/stopmacro [modifier:none]
/pettatack [modifier:shift, target=focus]
/clearfocus [modifier:shift]
