I understand there are situations where maybe you wanna blast it down faster like if facing a caster or whatever. Root rotting really shouldnt be an option until you have both canni and regen.
I actually agree with your desire just disagree on how to get there. Around that level, you'll end up with more resources spam nuking than slowing and meleeing. Unless mob is Green. Slow costs too much mana, as does healing. I found I'd end the fight with more resources nuke spamming then face tanking with a slow. AND it was faster.

Once you get to 20+ content, mobs hit too hard and shaman melee dps- relative to mob HP pool - drops hard. I'm 45 now, I melee for 2 more damage a swing than I did at 12. But I nuke 25 times harder.
