Pet tanking without root is also an option if your pet heal over time is more powerful than the mob's damage output. Situational I know.

E.g. Level 49+ on Seafury Island, OOT. The seafuries only hit for 80ish so you pull them to your pet with a level 1 spell, and dot the mob while healing the L49 pet. This was on live years ago, but with Bond of Death (? the pet heal over time) plus Leech and Skele form + dots I could more or less finish a fight with the same mana/hp as I started it. Root adds if necessary.
This is a pretty terrible tactic as opposed to pulling with darkness, fearing, doting and leeching when your hp drops and FDing to let pet tank for the rest of the fight while you med. You're standing to cast snare/fear/dots and medding, then standing to FD and medding after that. If you're constantly casting shadow compact to heal pet you're going to be constantly leeching to regain HP which is the least efficient method of damage available to you.
Also, Pet aggro is...wonky...on this server. 2 DoTs are pretty much a guarantee that the recipient of those DoTs is coming for you, Pet taunt be-damned. Makes aggro kiting really easy but your pet can't hold aggro as well as we all remember from live.

As Supafly mentions, leeching for pet heals *is* a way, just not the best way by any means unless you simply have no area to kite or fear.
