Up until a few weeks ago, archery on non-rooted mobs was coming out to roughly equal to melee DPS, perhaps just slightly less. Before the nerf patch we all realized it was worth it to use on raids even.

After patch we were seeing much higher critical hits, but also lower minimum hits. Sky bow could crit up in the 800s at 45/60! Then they realized that the damage calcs had been altered to be basically constant trueshot disc and damage was cut completely in half in a stealth change. So now bow soloing isn't nearly as viable as it was.
