Case in point of the relative difference between classes: Shamwowi linked an ice burrower video. Now replace the shadowknight with a ranger. Ranger doesn't have a pet to care about, so if he's solo'ing he doesn't care at all about aggro. He lands 1 ensnare, that lasts a long flippin time so he only has to re-apply it a relative handful of times through a fight. Otherwise it's move-shoot-move-shoot. His mana bar's fine, gloves or no gloves. Totally different tactics, and the snare gloves which are handy for the shadowknight in that situation, collect dust in the ranger's bag.
Kiting for someone else? Ranger would probably rather flame lick--shoot. Still a lot of aggro, and more damage too. Least I would in his place. Mana bar will gradually go down but it'll outlast the burrower.
More likely to use the things in a chain-pulling exp group with no mana regen where the ranger happens to be the tank. Flame lick takes awhile to run you out, but it eventually will, and some exp groups will complain even at one stoppage per hour. Even then it's not THAT likely, kind of a contrived scenario that most ranger players will probably never experience, so I don't really disagree with the folks dismissing the snare click as fluff. It's there, use it if you need it, but you probably won't need it on that class and bag space isn't endless. Frankly I don't use the things all that often on my shadowknight.
