I mean, sure, you could argue if there aren't mobs in camp constantly, then you're doing it wrong. The thing is: that still makes knights better, since they don't need to wait for a lucky proc or a group member rooting. A single Flash from a Paladin, and your Rogue doesn't need to hold back. That increases the kill speed, does it not? Depending on the camp and the DPS, the knights may be able to clear before they deplete their entire mana bar.
Arguably this is what gives paladin and ranger the edge, as both have root; even if a better geared, higher level tank joins group, they can transition from tank to puller and use root to keep the target on the warrior if need be, while also providing light cc. Warrior still has role versatility, since it can hover around low health to put out respectable damage with the risk of drawing blood aggro.
