I believe, roots should overwrite any root. IE a level 5 Grasping Roots should overwrite a level 56 Engorging Roots. Example:

I got this item when i was level 53, and its one of the coolest things i've ever gotten. I love to go to Colbat Scar and get 3 or so wyverns after me, then i systematicly root them with the fastest root (the one with 1.8 cast time and 100dd) and when they're all rooted, i summon my horse, then cast my dot spell on 1 wyvern, and then click dot (ES vambraces) all 3, then i root all 3 with my warden symbol of tunare, then reapply click dots and one big dot to 1 wyvern when they wear off, constantly re-rooting with the click-necklace. doing this i got to level 54 in a flash, seeing how as i was on horse back i was constantly meditating, i could kill off 3 and have 50-60% mana left. Its a great tactic if your quading and cant find a full 4, but if you dont do it just right it can be really dangerous, the horse is slower than sow (cheapest white) and takes longer to get up to speed, so if a root does break its best to un-click horse buff (being careful *not* to click off sow/soe *ouch*...)
So basically you were able to root a mob with a high level root and then overwrite with the low level root during Luclin. I'd imagine it's the same as classic. Root is just root. It's not something like a snare or slow with a percentage where the game takes the highest.

In summary - This is working as intended.
