Since there is only two of you it sends the last position to the warden

Maybe the times it doesn't do anything it's been resisted.

If the root holds (Heroics/solos) there is no way other than bruiser aa drag combined with sonic fist that the mob comes to the tank. Root has to break OR you have to come into hitrange for you to get mob on yourself.

I've noticed I have to be not only in hit range, but also I have to be absolutely the closest one to the mob when it's rooted away from me. (Plant/Wall roots don't seem to affect mobs this way).
