I have found it all to be random, Maybe earth pets just cast root more often or some shit which is why people complain about it so much. I get earth pets tested on me regularly and unbuffed i sit about 149MR. I resisted a total of 13 earth pet roots before one landed for 3 seconds(this was throughout multiple summons of pet by 60 mage). Though when the final blue con pet was summoned it landed a root on its 4th try(estimating 20 second duration in that time) and it lasted something like 12-18 seconds. None of these pets were even using burnout or weapons so I didn't take much damage. I can see how the proper pet with haste would be OP if it got lucky.
As far as rooting in pvp goes, I stopped bothering trying to get a root off on anyone I know is stacking resist gear because ensnare seems to land way more often. Same goes for bards, I had one twisting me 350mr+ easily with a 60s epic earth pet trying to root me and a cleric spam rooting me. first 25 or so all resist. few mins later with MR song still going cleric got it off first shot for a decent duration. Personally I can't complain about anything other then the fact it removing sow/jboots, just annoying recasting but pvp is pvp.
