When I soloed my druid from 185-190 I used a bastian shield and wore damage gear so that I could at least get some melee hits in, albeit crappy, in between all the casts. Not sure if my build was the most efficient solo build, but I found that so many casts were evaded and it sucked to not have any kind of melee backup plan. I didn't use root for those levels; the bastian helped me stay alive. I think I used bees, vines, lighting, sanct, and touch - if I recall correctly. Hope that helps.
i'm just curious what is the fastes class to level from rogue warrior or ranger??
I found rogue to be the fastest.
