Make friends with a cleric and get blessing of whatever_its_called_now.
That spell haste has no minimun cast time requirement.
Otherwise send pet in first, root mob while it's busy with
pet then feign pet. Also, instead of trying to decrease cast times increase
spell *range*. Range focuses are cheap, and standing 20% farther away
essentially shortens the ratio between cast time and the mob's getting to you.

Don't forget to use your snare. It is always good to get it snared
before you try to root it... that way, when root breaks (and it will),
you'll have time to get up and root/snare it again. If it can be
rooted, it can be snared. Take heed of the things that can't be
snared or rooted. Then FD is your friend.

Not so. According to Alla's (and this matches what I recall playing
an SK with my wife's cleric), Blessing of Piety, Faith, Devotion,
Purpose, Resolve all have the "limit: Min Casting Time(3.00 sec)".

All necro dots have 3 second casts. When a cleric casts blessing
on me they go down to 2.5 seconds. So I always figured there was no limit
because the focus items all have the 3 second limit...
Oh well. At least now he doesn't have to make friends with a cleric.
