I do mostly root rotting with Dots, DD, Arrows till mobs gets down to 60%, then go in as Melee, cast Flame Lick, etc. between swings, and snare mob at like 25%. Mobs on average turn and not hit you at 18% to 16%. So you are only getting hit between 60% and say 18% of mobs health. SO you don't take much of a beating that way.

Your small heal will bring you back to full health pretty quick, that way you have used very little mana because almost all the spells a Ranger gets are low level Druid spells that are low mana wise cost to cast.

Playing a Ranger is a Cat and Mouse thing with a lot of thought put into how to approach and attack mobs. One thing I really like about them is the ability spells wise to do it. They have a Lot more tools than you think to pull it off too.
