Imo you should never really root/rot past level ~40. My progression was:

5-13: Root rotting Crushbone
14-19: Root rotting Sisters
19-24: Root rotting Upper Guk
24-30: Charming Everfrost mammoths
30-38: Root rotting Ancient Croc
38-41: I can't remember...
41-49: Quadding BB Dwarven citizens
50-51: Quadding Bloodgills
52: Quadding Spirocs and Wyverns
53-55: Quadding Raptors
56-60: Charming Bear pits

I think it's best to fight melee until the mid/high 20's. Damage shield is strong (can also utilize treeform outdoors for more health regen). Start charming once mobs start hitting too hard and stick with that for pure leveling purposes, unless quadding works with your schedule better (being able to take breaks). I would only root rot for trying to solo a cash/item camp where charm isn't an option.
