Damage done to the target may prematurely end Entangling Roots. However, Roots is never broken by its own DoT.
Nature's Grasp is a buff that casts the highest rank of Entangling Roots on the next melee attacker.
Entangling Roots' cast time may be made instant with Nature's Swiftness, or reduced by 0.5 seconds through Nature's Grace.
One of the few crowd control spells not subject to creature type restrictions (humanoid, beast, demon, etc.). It is, however, unreliable. Any creature that is immune to nature spells, as is common among elementals, is immune to Entangling Roots.

Nature's Focus reduces pushback while casting entangling roots by 70%.
Nature's Reach increases range to 36 yards, and reduces the threat generated by 30%.
Brambles increases the total DoT by 75%.

Glyph of Entangling Roots increases the damage your Entangling Roots victims can take before the Entangling Roots automatically breaks by 20%.

Use this spell if you need to run away from something. The enemy may still be able to hit you with ranged attacks, but otherwise, it can't move to attack you.
Consider using Nature's Grasp if you use this spell to run very often.
Invaluable in PvP against Warriors, Rogues, Hunters, and Shamans.
Use it for crowd control in an instance, if needed.

Patch 2.0.1 (2006-12-05): All crowd control effects have a chance each second to break earlier, and their duration is capped at 12 seconds in PvP. The chance increases with resistances and the level difference between the target and the caster.
Patch 3.0.2 (2008-10-14): Entangling roots is now usable indoors.
