I think JBB is the right way to go.
I paused leveling my shammie, at 54 (zzZZz level) and had him kitted with fungi, haste, epic and jbb. Root rotting is tedious without lvl 56 root, after that it's probably better, especially if you have fungi and can canni more.
I felt like with the gear I got better XP facetanking (sometimes alternating between me and pet during fights) and jbb-spamming after epic-dotting and slowing the mob. The plan would've worked fine without the epic too.
At some point I'll get back to the shammy. Never bothered with fungi staff because I never felt the mana for the buff was an issue and that the hassle memming the spell was equivalent pain to the movement debuff of the staff. If I didn't have fungi I'd probably want a fungi staff tough to save that mana buffing.
