Shaman totems and shaman weapon buffs do not stack.

edit: Changed "weapon buffs" to "shaman weapon buffs" to be more clear.

I think the question was more along the lines of:

If I am swining, and windfury procs (giving me free hits) and on the first free hit windfury procs again.... does the second proc overwite the extra free hits from the first one, or do both procs stack?

Sadly I forgot to test this before everything was shut down, so I do not have an answer for you, perhaps one of the other shamans did.

i sincerely doubt the extra hits have a chance to proc. you proc every 5 hits (20% chance to proc doesn't mean you proc exactly once every 5 hits, but Law of Large Numbers), so if you proc once with the 7 attack buff.. you are bound to proc again during one of those 7 attacks. so, if you proc once with it, you continuously chain proc and enter a state of hypersupermega attack speed until you stop attacking.

You can proc off the extra hits I believe.

Garunteed you can proc off of the extra hits. This is the current status of it, maybe it will be patched in the future though. And I don't think anyone has seen more than 5-6 free hits after each other.

i heard someone on these boards mention some sort of "proc timer" that controlled the number of procs you could have in any given timeframe. i didnt think much of it, but i suppose that's probably the balance system included to prevent the situation i described above.

so, there's some mechanic preventing the actual function of procs? wonderful. heaven forbid a "20% chance to do _____ on hit" would actually mean you have a 20% chance to do _____ on hit. any good sites yet for certain mechanics/formulas like this?

and my apologies for being mistaken!

edit: wait, you're saying someone was using the highest level of windfury weapon (which grants 2 extra attacks) and they chained 5-6 free hits? so then someone could use the one with 7 extra attacks and chain that? heh
