None really. I leveled till 70 as Enhancement and I barely used my totems while questing. Only for stronger mobs etc. Could be that I'm entirely wrong about this though.

Thank you for the answers...
any good totem addons while we are at it?
TotemTimers
is an incredible totem addon, as well as a general shaman addon - it happens to also do an awesome job of tracking your elemental shields (lightning/water) as well as your enhancement timers (stormstrike, earth shock, and later maelstrom weapon & lava lash).
In regards to your original question (although its sort of already been answered), you don't really need totems for soloing/questing. However you should use them when you have to attack an Elite (which is more rare these days), or you go into a group instance.
Edit: Something else I wanted to mention, is that when we eventually get patch 3.2, you'll be able to cast 4 totems with one cast, making them more feasible to use while questing too, if you can spare the mana.

I'm using an addon called FloTotemBar, which gives you a bar of totems for each element. You can then rearrange totems in bars and also move bars around to where you want them to be.
I've got that, saves like 20 bar slots, it's amazing. Yup but i'd say leveling enhance don't worry about it cept in instance. Once new patch hits you can drop them all on 1 button, then MAYBE they'll be worth it.
I'm element but even in raid i rarely drop all my totems unless we're on a boss. I usually just drop wrath and maybe mp5.

When I leveled as Elemental, I put up
Totem of Wrath
for the extra SP and crit, but that's about it.

i'd say either totemtimers, or if you're looking for something simpler, YATA.
but these addons will be made reduntant by blizzard when 3.2 comes out, and the game gets its own totem manager built into the default ui
TotemTimers will not be reduntant, as it still tracks your Maelstrom Weapon/Enhancement rotation, as well as your elemental shields. I can't speak for YATA as I've never used it, but I'd imagine its in a similar boat.
