Secondly, the bard epic is 55% haste, 30 str, and 30 ATK.

I wasn't including epics since this thread seemed more geared towards the kind of groups that would be formed where people probably don't have epics, but yes the Bard gains ground with the epic since it gives the class a lot more extra ability in comparison to Enchanter epic.
Still, even with that included, their slow debuff is inferior and Enchanter has the much higher DPS capability. Under ideal conditions an Enchanter pet can be 70% hasted (or at least 66% hasted assuming Epic, if there isn't free mana to spend on the 70% haste), which is phenomenal DPS.

Also, if we're talking about high dps estimates, 120 dps from a charm pet is definitely on the high side.

Dual-wielding, hasted pet can definitely do more than 120 DPS.

But the big thing is that the question was "which class when played with skill affects your group the most?"... I don't think casting haste every 42 mins (VoG) or c2 every 35 minutes really takes skill.

Controlling a max-DPS charm pet, on top of doing the group buffs, AND debuffing targets, AND also Crowd Control, is where the skill ceiling for Enchanter should be discussed. You need to constantly position yourself very well, constantly tell the pet to /sit far enough away, and constantly be attentive of exactly when charm breaks, so that you can mez the pet before it gets to you. Then juggle everything else with that.
