Pseudo code.
Code:
OnEvent(self, event, ...)
if ( event == "PLAYER_TOTEM_UPDATE" ) then
local slot = ...;
local haveTotem, name, startTime, duration, icon = GetTotemInfo(slot)
-- do stuff
end
end
This API is also used for Death Knights and Druids.

I'm not sure whether its a bug in beta right now (or how its always been), but while working on the 'special cases' for my aura tracking mod, I found that the Serpent Statue (Mistweaver) triggers TOTEM_UPDATE but the info given by GetTotemInfo refers to the totem itself which doesn't return a valid spellID via GetSpellInfo(<namegiven>). May want to just check whether this is a one off (i'm intending to trial a few) or something that would need to be handled case-by-case.
Edit: Just to follow up, the TOTEM event now fires on several classes for different things that i've played with
Warlock (Demonology): The Wild Imps and the Dreadstalkers both trigger the event but return nothing for GetTotemInfo (i'm faking it by watching the SPELL_SUMMON event in the combat log)
Monk (Mistweaver): The Jade Serpent Statue works the same as Warlocks
Druid (Restoration): Efflorescence is the same
Shaman (Restoration): While they give the proper GetTotemInfo returns, if you take Echo which allows 2 charges of Healing Stream Totem, both have the same spellID and thus need to be handled specially (if using spellID as an indentifier)
