In Permafrost, Root rotting 4 at a time with epic at level 59, I was getting 50% yellow an hour...
Also, Epic root rot is way more efficient than JBB slow tanking, even with the +30 hp / tick regen.
You can only do one mob at at time slow tanking. You can root rot up to 6 at a time with epic.
I didn';t have to buy epic MQ, i was able to get it on raid, but Epic is definitely better value than JBB + Fungi Staff. Tunic is usable by many classes, and its always good to have at least one floating around on your toons. But the same cannot be said for JBB and Fungi Staff. I've tried both methods on a 60 shaman, and with Torpor - Fungi Staff and Tunic are both nigh-on obsolete.

One blue an hour is about as fast as I have seen for level 58-59 soloing on multiple classes in various camps. I am skeptical of you getting 2.5 blue bubbles an hour. Maybe that is the charm of bear pits (I have never done them), but that is a single camp that is contested by a lot of druids. You have to take into account how often you won't be able to get the amount of bears needed for that kind of XP.
As I said above, it doesn't really matter which setup is faster. I haven't tried soloing with Epic by itself, so I won't try to make an argument as to which one is faster.
At the end of the day farming 60k or more to buy Torpor is going to take longer on a 60 Shaman with Epic and no Torpor. With Torpor you can get a Fungi King group and get enough cash to buy Epic fairly quickly. Without Torpor people are less likely to let you into the nice cash camps that 60s do.
That is why you shouldn't sell everything for Epic. Fungi Tunic + Fungi Staff + JBB + Black Fur Boots will allow you to level quickly, while also keeping your tradeable items available to sell for Torpor. You can basically get Torpor right when you hit 60.
I agree with you Fungi Tunic + Staff are less useful at 60 with Torpor, which is why you sell them for Torpor.
