Root spell line plus DoTs

Update- did some testing on it. Without damaging mobs at all as they're rooted, root (out of ~25 tests) always lasted close to full duration.

Adding DoTs to the equation things changed drastically. Sometimes it would break on the first tick, then I'd recast root, and it would break on the subsequent tick, and again even. That right there is what bugs me... should not have to keep casting root like that... I'd rather go with a more random root duration than one that breaks fairly consistently from nukes.

I don't see many soloing druids out there, which is why I don't think many people know/care about the frustration of this.

on LIVE root break chance was NEVER affected by bow, melee or dot tick dmg.
Only by DD, or dot with initial DD component

Random root duration however did had a place mostly based on mobs resist

Welp, root's also breaking when mob's hit by damage shield, and I know that's not right.
