Understood, thanks. So the process you describe above has the pet eating half the exp from the first mob?

I always invisioned breaking charm and somehow killing both.
No, that's just the process for breaking charm in general. You can do it while killing a mob in order to get full exp from both. I'll do an example scenario:

You're killing skeletons in Howling Stones basement. There's a decent amount of room to move around in. You have a ghost charmed (but not hasted) and you're killing a skeleton. The skeleton is rooted (always root your target when charm killing). The skeleton is getting to about 5-10% hp and you don't want your pet to eat any of the exp, so you back the pet off.

NOW you can /pet sit, back up, target pet, cast gather shadows-breaking charm. Quickly hit a clicky (I like to use Words of Darkness in my inventory) to reset your Global Spell Cooldown and cast root on your target (which should still be your previous pet, the ghost). You may take a hit or two trying to get root cast on the ghost if you weren't far enough away to cast root before it caught up to you, so it's helpful to keep rune up (diamondskin .etc). Now both the ghost and the skeleton should be rooted, and both should be low health. You can now dot both to death with something like Splurt or another dot that doesn't have a DD component, or nuke them to death with an undead nuke. Tada! Full exp on both.
