Can Roots root multiple targets?

I looked around a little bit, and couldn't tell if Roots was target-restricted like most CC, or if you can root multiple opponents at once. Does anyone know?
I'm specifically looking toward the new Nature's Grasp improvement in the test patch notes.
Melee will has a sad regardless.

Nature's Grasp: Now has 3 charges, up from 1.
Talents
Balance
Starfall: Te damage done by this spell has been significantly increased.
Typhoon: Mana cost reduced to 25%, down from 32%.
Feral Combat
Mangle: The debuff from this talent now lasts 60 seconds, up from 12 seconds.
And:

Q u o t e:
So we can only root one person at a time?

That's a bug. You can only cast one Entangling Roots. You can proc the roots on 3 targets with Nature's Grasp.

Just to note, if you do ever see multiple targets getting rooted with what looks like Entangling Roots, it's probably
This
from elemental shamans.

Just gotta wonder why it's a feral thing... Owls and trees could use it too. Oh, well, no sense in being jealous of my feral brethren, I guess. And as a tree, I guess I shouldn't complain anyway.

It says it requires a feral form
Admittedly, you'll often be shifting to bear when you want this.

So to conclude:
Entangling Roots, like most CC, can only affect one target at a time.
Nature's Grasp can affect up to three different targets.
It's not yet resolved whether or not the two share any kind of restriction (e.g. 3 targets rooted or 4?)

I cannot find the post anymore but I'm 95% sure that GC responded that that are separate Spell ids and that in effect you can have up to 4 people rooted at once.
Edit: Found it.

Hell, even rogues have a psuedo-AOE snare. Fan of Knives with Crippling Poison (or Deadly Brew) will usually snare everything in 8 yards for about 100 energy - it's super expensive but it's better than nothing.
I still wish that the effect was deep in Balance, not a passive. I think it's going to be extremely difficult for any melee to handle restos at any time.
