First off, in your 50s you can start doing Sebilis, where you can do CE groups and get a JBB back "for free".
But as far as soloing goes, I did a mix of what you described. When doing Seafury Cyclops (pre-gem-nerf) I would only cast root, and just use the epic for DPS, but normally I combined the epic with disease/poison dots. I root if I can (and sometimes slow anyway for safety in case root breaks), and if I can't (eg. summon mobs) I slow/ tank with my pet as an extra "DoT".
It all just depends on what you are fighting: whether they summon, how hard they hit vs. how many HP they have, etc.
