Root wasn't like this spell that always landed and lasted full duration. Not sure why you guys think that.
Early on snare was so much more effective because root broke a lot. Hence the reason the "less dot damage to moving targets" change came about due to prevalence of snare kiting. If root worked on live during this time as it does here (lands basically every cast for full duration), who would have been snare kiting?
I'm aware of ensnare mana cost and duration, just the running around with a snared mob is a pain in the ass comparatively.
