One question: Why do you snare your pet? Doesn't that mean it takes longer to get to opponents, therefore less time in use before it breaks?

Snare allows you to run out of range on charm breaks and more time to recast charm without getting hit, therefore saving mana since you don't have to heal yourself. If you're charming something that can double hit you for 100+, you will want to avoid getting in melee range. This is especially important if you've used one of the druid pet haste spells.

Cases you would not snare anything is if you're going to be taking your pet along with you over long distances past things that will aggro it, in which case you can try sowing at your own risk. (Just remember that the higher level you are, the faster that thing will run when it's gunning for you after a break.)

Snare won't be quite as important at lower levels as root, but Ensnare is basically irreplaceable since it lasts for so long (~6-12 min) and doesn't come off early.

In EK, pull a war wolf or spirit stalker to the guards SE of bridge to NK, let them beat it down then charm when below 20%. Move it away, break charm, kill, profit.
