You're correct.
I've been testing it out with my druid at 14/15. In theory, it's the best nuke I've got, and when it hits with all three waves, it's really effective against blue con mobs.
In practice, the mob either resists one of the waves or the root breaks before all three waves hit it. That wrecks the mana efficiency big time when compared to a faster casting one-shot nuke.
Which leads me to the following conclusion: It might be decent with a charmed pet or a duo partner holding the mob in place so that all three waves hit.
We're going to have to disagree on the use of Befriend Animal, though. I have been having a decent amount of success using it to charm a high green or blue mob and then use that as a pet to attack an even con. I usually have to assist my pet win, and it ends up at 25% to half health when the fight ends. Then I hit hide, break the charm, and root-rot my (former pet). Gets me two xp kills pretty easily.
I'm not sure if this way of killing two mobs at once would be more mana-efficient than just rooting both of them and dotting though. I have to test that still.

Cool. Maybe I'll roll a lowbie Druid and do it a bunch of times just to see if there's any consistency to root break percentage.
I wasn't the one talking about Befriend Animal although for what it's worth on my Druid I didn't find it as useful as root rotting.
