Call of the Ancestors is the level 30 totem set. Blizzard's post says Call of the Spirits.

Blizzard's Oct 7 Shaman deep dive swaps the names of the second and third totem sets. In every beta build, Call of the Ancestors comes at 30 and Call of the Spirits at 40.

Blizzard’s Oct 7 deep dive says a Shaman learns Call of the Spirits at level 30 for a second set of four totems, and Call of the Ancestors at 40 for a third. Blizzard · Oct 7

Build 70291 has them the other way around, and so has every beta build back to Sep 16. The level 30 spell is Call of the Ancestors. Game files · build 70291

Level Spell Its tooltip Blizzard’s post
20 Call of the Elements Places up to 4 totems set on the Totem Bar Level 20
30 Call of the Ancestors Can call different totems than Call of the Elements Level 40, third set
40 Call of the Spirits Can call different totems than Call of the Elements or Call of the Ancestors Level 30, second set

The tooltips back up the levels. Call of the Spirits names both of the other sets, so it’s the last one you get.

All three take 3 sec to cast and put down one totem of each element. The post says each one costs the four totems’ mana added together. None of them has a mana cost in the client, which fits a cost the server works out when you cast. Game files · build 70291

The totem bar from 20 to 40

Totems trigger a 1 sec global cooldown in Forever, down from 1.5 sec. Buff totems such as Strength of Earth and Windfury last 5 min instead of 2, and Healing Stream and Mana Spring went from 1 min to 5. Game files · build 70291

Restoration’s row 1 talent Totemic Focus takes up to 25% off the mana cost of totems and of any spell that summons or moves them. That covers the Call spells and Totemic Projection. Game files · build 70291
