Just use root and keep them rooted.

This. I only use snare for pulling because mob AI when snared and having no aggro (IE through zoning or Egressing) will stay in place. So you can single mobs to zoneline quite easily and stick them there with snare.

Rooting is the way to go by far.

And Root Rotting / Quadding are the slowest exp methods possible. If you want to exp fast, learn to use charm. If you're just interested in getting a drop from a mob go for root rotting. If you are just able to devote 2 or 3 minutes at a time then have to afk for awhile (while cleaning or studying or reading) go for quadding.... but if you wanna grind learn2charm.

According the the developers' understanding, druids are now as they were at this point in the timeline of Classic. Why should two magic-sv DoT's stack? Creeping Crud is an upgrade to Stinging Swarm, not a separate spell line. And ya fo real: if you are solo grinding and aren't charming animals, ur doin' it wrong.

Dunno about your problem with the giants .. that sounds unusual for P99. Are there are any mobs at the fort that are druids or shamen? They may be buffing the other giants with SoW. Maybe try dispelling a giant before you begin fighting him.
