How much of a difference does canni dancing make when soloing
If you are really curious I suggest you do the math. Canni-dancing will give you X more mana than not canni-dancing, where X is how many times you canni-dance times the amount of mana meditation gives at your level (see wiki page on meditate).

For instance, say you're level 36 (to make the math even): you'll meditate 5 mana per tick . So, if you canni-dance 6 times in a row you will generate 30 more mana than if you didn't canni-dance those 6 times. That's exactly enough mana to cast one extra Enstill that you couldn't have without canni-dancing.

Are there some mobs and camps that must be done doing the dance?
I am aware of exactly 0 camps where one extra root is going to mean the difference between succeeding and failing.

Smart man; don't worry about gear as a shaman, just buy a decent weapon and your spells and save the rest. We shaman don't need gear, we need XP (and then when we're higher level we can get plat/gear fairly easily).

As for soloing, don't forget about the http://wiki.project1999.com/Per-Level_Hunting_Guide when looking for somewhere to hunt: the guide is for every class, but it was written by a shaman (me) so it's full of great places for us to hunt.
