You can kite, but you have to keep moving. I've done it with a sowed pet, but never solo unless I had to.

Root and DoT is the best method, but right now you can just tank and melee. That works fairly well for a bit.

Drowsy is an attack speed debuff, not a movement speed debuff.

At 24, with canni and regen makes root/rot a lot easier. It's better than trying to kite. With a sowed pet you can kite ok.
