Tolans does 3 things in my mind:
1.) Opens up your possible solo camps. It's not necessarily faster XP than fear-kiting animals or face-tanking light blues, but you have more options available to you.
2.) You can kill basically anything that can be snared/rooted with your mana pool, it just may take quite awhile.
3.) General convenience of not having to go back and fletch arrows if you've been pulling in an XP group for hours straight.

Facetanking and fear kiting is a short lived world for rangers. Unless you have epics, fungi, PoS cloak, etc.

I'm lvl 52 with a woodsman and SCHW's. I can solo ravishing drolvargs in Dreadlands with a bow. They rip me apart w/o it. Not sure I could kill one with a full mana bar...maybe with a swarmcaller proc.

With a bow I killed 5 of them (2 ravishers, 3 ragers) in about 25 mins...painfully slow EXP but they jumped me and I just rooted and started working them down. Better than camping out or zoning.
