Big problem with the 19 Mala is that it has to land in the first place before it helps, so its tricky on a yellow or whatever. Your mana pool is teeny tiny so its a significant use of your resources to add a moderate increase in a few spells (not your dots) sticking, basically. But root is cheap (if unreliable) and you are probably not fighting yellows and reds unless you're in a group, and in a group they'll die too fast for it to be worthwhile and dont need to be rooted anyways.
Bad investment at the level imo. Has some redeeming factor later if you need something cheap to give a little edge, but like most shammy stuff its just not really worth it before 34ish.
