I definitely agree with you. Great post. The issue with your post is that it only works when you're root/rotting and dmg output is the only thing you're worrying about.
Now go solo a summoning mob you have to slow/tank with a lot of hp that hits like a truck (say lodizal). You have to worry about healing yourself regularly and not canni too much to survive the next round of hits, and be conservative with mana to actually down the 35k hp of the mob. Add to this the slows and malo you'll have to refresh..
Let's say you're using pox and bane on this case. You're gonna have to malo (350 mana), slow (250 mana assuming you don't have any resists if you're very lucky), pox (430), bane (425), and then epic for 9 secs where you gonna get hit, double for 300+ dmg if you're lucky, probably gonna have to torpor right away so 200 mana.
There, you just used 1655 mana ( around half your mana pool if you have pretty good gear and in a ideal scenario with no resists) to do 5k dmg.. Not even 15% of the health of the mob. Now canni away while it's hitting for up to 400 to recast all that. You're gonna have to canni 17 times (more than that actually) with canni IV and lose 2,5k hp in the process. I'm wielding ToV gear and have 2,7k hp self buffed at best. Yes, with a mob hitting that hard, you're gonna have to torpor yourself in the process, and not just once.
You see where i'm getting at ? Now forget all the mana from pox and bane. You'll see that it's doable. So i stand by what i said earlier. You don't need jbb, it just opens lot of possibilities for soloing tough mobs.

I was with you up to the point that you lie and say you'd use the jbb more efficiently in this scenario lol while you're Cani/torpping and not jbb'ing my dots are killing the mob. While you're jbb'ing and not Cani torpping the mob is killing you and all you're doing is 1 dots worth of dps.
You just haven't actually used this strat. That's why you don't know it doesn't work lol I bet you haven't even soloed tranix
