Is this normal? My spells automatically target SHAMAN's totems

example.

I start casting frostbolt on a shaman

At the last moment he drops a fire totem

My frostbolt awkwardly attacks the totem, even though he's still targeted. My target never changes from the shaman.

I had a Shaman on the run and was one frost bolt away from killing him

First that happened, my frost bolt killed his totem that I didn't want to attack even though I didn't stop targeting him

Then he dropped another as I threw my Net O Matic and I caught the totem in a net. WTF!? Was this a vanilla feature? A bug? Or a hack?

Are you sure this isn't a grounding totem?

AH. I never played a shaman to 30 before and this guy was 30! I should've checked the combat log. It may have been - but it happened several times in a fight, too.

Thanks
