I have been charming a lot since patch, not trivial mobs, hs south and east mostly.
I would say it works better overall. Perhaps the level difference has less difference indeed, I felt that pets 50+ were holding better, while trivial ones were less stable.
It is very hard to get reliable conclusions with something based on random number generators, especially when you are biased by patch notes saying "it will be better".
When you expect something has changed for better, you are always disappointed when its not so good, and even often feel its worse than before.
In classic live, enchanters were rare, relatively unskilled compared to today, and groups were afraid of the charm breaks horror stories. So yeah, charm looked unreliable, because people didn't know well how to use it and deal with breaks.
Now on P99, every enchanter has years of experience, or guides to learn, groups know what to do, etc. So charm looks more trustworthy.
