If I'm understanding you correctly, root tanking means the chanter roots the mob, then gets close to get hit and make summoned pet engage. If this is the case, then the mob will attack the closest target in my experience, depending on your melee range and that of backstab it could be possible to be right at the edge of that zone and backstab effectively. I know I've managed to do it when duoing on my Druid with my chanter friend. Could slowly creep forward with melee on and get some safe skill ups in.
