If the push is bad and you can't handle being in a corner you can also root yourself. That stops push also. Use that with caution, but it's an option.
Another option would be to keep the mob rooted so you can back up and cast as needed.
Keeping yourself rooted would be ideal for situations where you're fighting multiple mobs (either low blues/greens) whereas keeping the mob would be easiest against a solo mob.
I didn't have a fungi when I was leveling. I would root/rot up to 4 mobs and med while the dots did their thing. Usually I would forgo slowing them (unless they were tough) and pull with dots, then root (less chances for it to break.) This is great against casters if you have a corner to hide. Dot x2, root and go sit in peace while they die. When you need to reapply dots or roots just pop back around the corner.
Once you get your pet it changes. You have to decide what is more efficient: buffing/healing your pet while trying to out damage it or slow tanking it with your pet as a dot. Considering you have a fungi, I'd imagine you'd slow tank. Just know that your pet is a neat ally, but can only tank certain mobs without help, and if you're slowing/healing you'll need to keep it rooted until he gets aggro.
