Snare on termination?

New to this ranger business, and the descriptions of many of the abilities confuse the hell outta me. I'm particularly confused by the description "snare on termination." In the case of something like sniping shot, I assume that it means that snare is cast immediately after dmg is done, ie almost immediately, correct? However, I was under the impression that snare on termination on powers with dot or debuff component meant that snare or root didnt take effect until after the full duration of the dot/debuff.

For example, I assumed the description of trick of the hunter meant that there was a 10% chance of root only after the 24 secs of snare ends. However, I'm beginning to think this is wrong. Does the chance for the root occur immediately? Do other powers work in the same fashion, ie snare or root takes effect immediately.

Sorry for the silly questions, but the descriptions of spells and items in this game are often much less than transparent, if not outright confusing. Any guidance appreciated?
