Roots and zoning/logging
Was it a classic mechanic for roots (and snares) to last their normal durations even when the caster had logged out or zoned? I can't remember if using roots/snares to keep mobs at zonelines as a splitting tactic was something from classic or just from early blue or what.
On green currently, for sure, roots TEND to break early if the caster zones or logs (actually I guess I've only been logging, not zoning, so I'm not sure if there is a difference there), even when the mobs are greens and MR debuffed. | ||

On Blue, Snare/Ensnare seemed to last the duration even when you zoned, because I would have to zone occasionally while quadding and would come back and those mobs would still be Ensnared. | |||

I definitely recall snare persisting after zoning out. It was a common tactic to snare a mob and camp/zone to split multiples. I tried doing this with root on my shaman the other day and I thought it was odd that the roots kept breaking before I came back, but chalked it up to RNG.

Roots should persist when logging out or zoning
HUGE difference in game play when you root on P99

No, I don't have access to a snare on my shammy. Could be the case that snares and roots are treated differently, and I can't really speak for how root worked on classic since I would have been using snare then.

Snare persisted upon zoning on blue. Been a while since I played there, but in doing the BB>FP truespirit loop for sham epic I just had my druid taxi snare the guy so he wouldn't roam anywhere. Anyone who's ever done it knows it takes 100 turn ins or whatever, so snaring him then porting to BB, getting the gem and hating back to him in the same spot every time was really nice.

Ensnare has a minimum duration unlike roots
