Your method sounds absurdly inefficient. You can pretend you are doing great, but our melee DPS output is pathetic even vs. green mobs with a haste item, GFG, etc. I would strongly encourage you to do some comparative tests between the two methods. I know I tried both while leveling at multiple points when I was 24+, and the melee option was never anywhere close to the efficiency of root rotting. No other class gets the regen+canni combo that we do and our dots are decently mana effecient. We are at our best, when we are sitting on our butts, regenning mana/health, letting our dots kill the mob, and not spending mana on slows.
