If you solo a lot like myself hail of steel is really a very good spell to use. Yes it roots you but it does very good damage. I use artic blast to pull a mob and it slows target way down. Then I use hail of steel and get about 3 more hits on the mob before it even gets in range of my (reach) CA's. When I hit a mob with HoS it does anywhere from about 900-1400 damage. So before I even have to cast a spell usually the mob has lost 4k to 5k in health. Besides that you can turn it off so that you can fight the mob. But I guess to each his own though that is just the easiest way to shorten a fight imo.
