Regarding root: good idea as well - however: there are different root spells (different levels as well as different types (druid root vs. int caster root etc.)
But a bard who afks is casting/singing a song every 3 seconds the whole time he is gone. A few level 5 tunnel bards will sing selos thousands of times in a single hour.

Your criticism of root is also off. I believe that root is the single most shared spell in the game (besides like, bind and gate that are used rarely). Cleric, shaman, paladin, necro, wizard, enchanter; that's the 2, 3, 4, most popular classes on green AND a few of the uncommon ones too. And though it gets upgrades, most people continue using "root" most of the time unless they eventually get "fetter" (which isn't until like 57-58 and is only wizards and enchanters). Root is often needed multiple times per mob due to short-ish duration, no resist mod, and breaking on damage. Etc.
