IMO unless you have something like a granite face grinder it's never worth slowing mobs you are solo'ing, not until level 51. Slow costs a lot of mana.

I only slowed mobs in low lvls when I solo'd, and that was with the lowest lvl slow as its not too mana heavy.
I agree it's not very efficient but I did it more just to practice for gameplay and if my alteration was low due to using Inner Fire as a heal, it was good to use for that also to keep Alteration up.
A key note too is to use lower level spells even as a higher level, they often times are effectiveness enough to get the needed result.
For instance your lower level root might prove more useful than later versions of root as its faster cvasting and uses way less mana.
A lower lvl slow might prove to be effective enough so you do not have to use your highest level slow which costs 250 mana, etc.
Root rotting is a method of combat you can choose as shaman, but until you get more than 1 decent dot, it's pretty slow grinding if thats how you choose to kill mobs.
With a weak root, you will be burning a ton of mana dotting, and using root to hold the mob down. Imo this is not very efficient, and that's why most shaman do melee for additional damage.
