I see 3 valid reasons for not having a charmed pet:
1) Group that is deficient in heals. If the healer is struggling even without any charms and causing downtimes than the added strain on heals might be counterproductive. The counterpoint here of course is "just use runes". But sometimes pets break when the chanter has other even more important things to do like mezzing 4 adds...
2) Chanter is too low for reliable charms.
3) In groups with lots of melees while still not being high level the chanter might struggle to keep haste up for all and keep charm up at the same time due to mana pool. Then a decision has to be made: keep up best haste for all or have charmed pet? It's not obvious what the best way to go is here, depends on situation.
