Any DoT with a direct damage component has an additional chance to break Root. As to whether that chance is the same for Ice Comet as it is for Poison Bolt, I don't know and would be curious to know myself. I would imagine an extra roll is done to see if Root will break but how would you code that so it has a higher chance depending on spell damage. Also wouldn't Wizards just be recasting Root after every nuke? I've never played one so I don't know there, either. On Druid, I'd say the chance of a Root break on nuke is maybe 1/3. How often does Poison Bolt break Root?
As an aside, it's accepted broscience that Enstill behaves worse than Root and is to be avoided.
