are warriors really worth playing?

No, you've just decreased the healing or offensive capacity of one of the casters in your group, while having no assurance that the mob will not bee line for one of them on a break. Root can be effective, but also dangerous in that regard because the mob will attack whomever is closest to it for the duration of the spell, regardless of their position on the aggro list.

If you've a low dps group with lots of cc then, yeah you may want a war to tank for the extra dps, but in a situation like that, why not just get a monk or pet to take the hits? ^^

I am not saying warriors are useless in groups (they aren't), just they don't offer much of an advantage for their primary role.
