I never root/roted on my 70shm. Shaman can take dmg and he is also decent at melee! Shaman really should not root/rot after canni/regen at 24 - unless ur on mob that hits really hard. What you need to do is maximazie your melee dmg. Get a good weapon + procs and face the mob! Also, dont underestimate 2HB! As shaman I would keep my 1hb, piercing and 2hb skills maxed, cause you never know what weapon you will get and there are some great 2hbs for shammy that will do great deal of extra dmg!

If you're twinked with leet gear then yeah, it would make more sense to melee. Otherwise I think it's debatable that meleeing is better at 24 than root dotting. At 24 I had full banded, a bark shield, and a gloomwater harpoon. I didn't find meleeing efficient until I got my pet; before then, I just took a lot of damage in exchange for not that much I was dishing out, even with slow on the mob and haste on myself. I found that the best way to solo exp at those levels was to simultaneously root-dot two blues with sicken and affliction.
