As someone with an enchanter alt, I would point out that charm is a dangerous spell if you are using it recklessly. I've been in groups (as a rogue) where the enchanter was losing control of their pets every ten seconds and ones where the pet lasted 15-20 minutes without needing to be re-charmed. The difference was the level of the mob; lower-level mobs stay charmed longer and are easier to re-charm, root, mez or just kill. Yes, you lose a little DPS and they might die faster if they end up tanking, but at least you are not constantly dealing with your own former pet instead of focusing on the fight.
The cleric's job is to keep you alive though. If they want to offer advice, if they want to bitch about your poor choice of pets, that's fine. As long as they keep you alive, as long as they are paying attention to the fight and choosing how/when to intervene, they can curse your entire bloodline for all I care.
What you do not want is the cleric and enchanter screaming at each other in /gsay about how the other doesn't know how to play their class.
