Actually, it's crazy easy.

Grab a pet.

Send him on a pack of mobs.

Pull pet back a tad so the mobs stack.

Root all mobs with paralyzing earth. (Keep track of your root order/time left)

wait until charm mob is low enough to kill with a single deflux

hit CoS

Finish HIM!

Charm new pet from rooted pack.

send pet on pack.

Reroot as necessary

charm from pack as necessary.

repeat

win

NOTE: The only time you have to fear for your life doing this as a necro is when you have a charmed pet and you gather your horde and you haven't rooted any of them. If your charm breaks then, it's very possible you could die. However, with buffs (rune!!!!!) and some distance, you can get off an FD before you're toast (unless you're unlucky).
Curious as to what you do on casters? Most undead mobs are Shadowknights, Shaman, Necros; it's pretty hard to deal with a group of them and not die -- especially because unlike live they cast pretty nasty spells here and have access to the full book.

Charm is great for solo'ing in dungeons and killing hard encounters (like in Guk) but in general the easiest/fastest way to solo 1-60 is fear/snare + skele pet. At least as I remember it on classic so long ago. I have been screwing around with fear kiting indoors on Red because it's empty (doing stuff that would get groups full of people killed in Unrest) and it's been hilarious.
