Not really a bug so I didn't want to post it in the bug forum, but it's just stupid how often the earth pet's root spell lands relative to how often the player casted root spell does. I just got root and can't even really land/keep landing root on a blue con, but a blue con pet can keep me basically chain rooted.

Definitely not like classic. On classic the earth pet's root barely ever landed.
+1, pretty much my exact experience with it as well. player cast roots almost always fail but mage pet roots will hit nearly every single time and they will stick for much longer than the pet's recast time. one of the mages on the server even expressed the same concerns about it.

I suspect that something was done on the PVE side of things for blue box some time ago to balance mage pets to help their roots stick against mobs that would con much higher to the pets themselves, and that change doesn't work for PVP.
