I can't find the post now, but recall a dev posting the reason for the nerf was to make sure charm breaks randomly. The problem with that reasoning is that it already did before the nerf. Sure sometimes it lasted max duration with tash/malo, but I can distinctly remember some insta breaks and random 1-2 min breaks, even with properly debuffed mobs and 235+ charisma. So you guys have fixed a problem that didn't exist, and in effect you have rendered an entire spell line nearly useless.
I have not looked at the changes. But that is how it was intended before. If the mob was tashed, malo'd, charm would often last the duration. The big issues, were the consequences when charm would break.

Charm should cause wipes on raids if used. Charm should be useable to solo. Charm should be dangerous in groups, but useable if you keep the mob snared, tashed, and malo'd.

I don't know how to fix the issue, with charm being a primary dps method on raids.

Maybe charmed mobs should run off randomly in wrong directions and bring back trains, if their master is not close enough?

There are so many things that could be explored.
