This.

I had a Jade prod on my shaman and was AC/hp geared. Tanking was wayyyy slower than root dotting, and root dotting was wayyyy slower than duoing.
I will defend my point of view on this. If you look at the high end shaman items, they are not significantly different than cultural crafted gear in terms of pure grinding efficiency. So for example if you have an item with 16 ac and another item with 20 ac, overall the difference will not be enough to make an impact so significant that you won't be able to take hits. With full buffs I have around 750 ac. I can go through about 3 easy db/high lb mobs before needing to med roughly with meelee.

Maybe this is not the MOST efficient way to level, but it is a lot easier than root dotting mobs where if you make a mistake you will instantly die. Which is why I asked for easy solo spots, not necessarily the fastest exp per hour solo spots. If you look at iksar regen + regen buff it's not much downtime at all to level like this and I get more exp than grouping most likely because some easy mobs slow is not even necessary to kill them.

If I wanted to answer my own question, I would have said things like tundra yetis in dl, servants of sythrax in field of bone, brutes outside dalnir, giants in warslik. I was hoping with this post to find new areas to go in so I didn't have to use the same spots every time. Since posting I have done my own testing/exploring to find a spot I like. So it's not like I won't put in the work, I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas that I wouldn't have thought of on my own.
