Shouldn't be using root in a group unless you are trying to stop a mob from disrupting a caster, or rooting a mob while pulling more than one (lines them up), though better not to root and pull (never pull and root though). Root draws a lot of aggro, ranger is not a tank, the tank needs the aggro.
Huh? I root all the time when a caster (usually the enchanter) gains aggro and everyone starts running around. Parks the mob, lets the chanter live, and gives the tank (usually a warrior in this case) a chance to build aggro back. Either that or it aggros it on me and I tank it, auto-attack off, until it goes back to the tank.

Taunt should be removed from your bar.
I would disagree here too... if the mob is on a caster and the tank can't get aggro back or his Taunt skill fails, the ranger is the fall back. Press taunt, disarm, and have Root incoming to save the caster (enchanter, your CLERIC, etc). There are times (although few), that I press Taunt for a reason.
