There are a lot of powers that don't really benefit you in your business of tanking. They're fun and nice for you but not ideallic to your role and theyre taking slots from powers that can be a bit more ideallic.
Out of Granite, Rooted is your mezz protection.
In Granite or whilst mezz protected Rooted, your answer to the ledge problem seems to be Spring Attack.
Super Jump and Superspeed won't happen without Mezz protection turned off.
Burnout is on a long rechg, whilst in Granite, an even longer rechg. It's usefulness is someone limited and far from frequent.
Fault would be better than Stalagmites.
Tremor is good for your damage output.
Are you prepared to TP self about, so you are zippy whilst Mezz protected?
Would you be prepared to give up SJ, SS, Spring Attack, and Burnout?
After we know what you are prepared and not prepared to change we could go into your slotting, which is to me in requirement of a dramatic change.

Even though my initial instinct is that this post is a joke, Im going to reply anyway because I really am that bored.

You dont have to use the same builds as everyone else to be successful, but here are some general guidelines that I think could help you get started:
Don't slot powers WAY over the ED cap just for a set bonus.
Don't slot powers WAY over the ED cap without a set bonus either: ie the gambler+red fortune def IOs in minerals combined are only adding 3% psi defense.
Don't slot powers for things they don't need ie: end reduction in combat jumping and recharge in granite armor.
Do slot your def/res and dam near the ED cap.
Start there and see what that gets you.
Out of a morbid curiosity I made a quick build using all of your power picks. It probably has some wasted slots because I don't feel like putting any extra effort into double checking, and I always overlook wasted slots the first time. Also Ive never played either stone set, so who knows what I else I didn't slot properly...
I still wouldn't play this myself, but it was kind of interesting trying to make a build for sets I don't use with power picks I wouldn't make.

But if you belive that I can massively improve my build by taking Rooted, then please let me know what i can do. I still enjoy super speeding about when im not in granite or rooted but i can get over this by coyote running about instead. And i can 2nd build it so i can still keep my non rooted build.
Any advice would be lovely!

I'm a Stoner that doesn't take TP. I've made a bind that switches from Rooted to Super Jump, and I have enough recharge that it takes very little time for Rooted to come back up.
Hitting SJ auto-turns off Rooted and vice-versa. So I can jump into melee, hit Rooted, SMASH, and SJ on to the next mob. I have a Stealth IO in SJ as well to give me that little extra half-second before everyone notices me.
I have another bind that does the same with Granite/SJ.

And it won't help you jump over curbs. But it might be more playable.It's also possible to build for "defense-out-of-Granite" AND some run speed. And...uh...that's about it -- I haven't been able to also add in lots of pool attacks, Hasten, Burnout, damage bonuses, and stuff like that. There's only so many slots.
If you want, I will try to remember to dig out the build I used and post it here, but it'll have to wait until I get home tonight. If you're a Stone/ fan, you've learned patience, right?

I am absolutely not telling you this to be mean, but if you are unhappy with the way stone tanks play, then use an alternate build for solo (as you mentioned) or perhaps try another set.
My run speed in rooted is about the same as a normal 'toon' without sprint so I can move around if necessary.
Granite with Rooted are dang near unkillable (+3 ITF: AV with mob support cannot defeat me; however, I can't defeat them either, but my team is safe.)
Just as RosaQuartz, I will come out of rooted when 'safe' but most of the time I'm protected.

Okay for starters as others have said, you really need rooted. Believe me I understand the speed penalty can be a drag and of course the lack of jumping, but a keybind or tray button to shut down rooted and activate super jump or super speed can be handy. Rooted provides a 90% run speed penalty, granite is 70% penalty and they stack when both powers are on. If you can use IO's to compensate and boost run speed, then you could either seriously reduce or eliminate the penalty from rooted. Still can't jump of course but that is an unavoidable penalty unless you have about 100 kinetics all hitting you with inertial reduction
Here is the link to the old guide I wrote for how stone brutes can boost their speed, the builds in it are blueprints only so feel free to modify them for your own use and the guide was written as I recall before fitness turned inherent. The builds in it can be adapted to stone tanks.

Definitely build and play what you like; however, for a true min/max approach Tough and Weave will be very helpful for the "hard stuff".
I was like you in that it is disappointing to take them, but when the SHTF they are nice to have and they do work.

On a stone tank you can hit the beloved Smash/Lethal resistance cap of 90%, or very close to it, without Tough. T3 or greater Cardiac provides more resistance which will bring you to the cap. Weave of course is nice as more defense is usually a good thing and Weave can slot an LOTG recharge booster and a Gift of Ancients run booster.
My own stone tank doesn't have tough/weave and is capped on S/L resist and on S/L def.
Stone Brutes on the other hand usually need Tough to make it to S/L resistance cap.
As someone who wants to be out of Granite as much as possible I have Tough and Weave on her. You can use them in Granite also but Tough might be of little point.
