Enc animation is a perfectly valid tool in the enchanter's toolbox. Just like any tool, it's best when used at the right moment.
Also is a matter of personal preference really.
I leveled 4 or 5 enchanters in P99 / R99 total, most of them charming, but usually duo with a healer. I just can't force myself into charm killing ALONE for exp. It's so slow, boring and burdensome... the whole "nuke for full exp thing", jeez...so annoying, No thanks.
Duo with someone you can actually chat and *adventure* with, is so much more fun, not to mention efficient.
But again, it's a matter of personal preference. There are people whose play style is: log on for only like 10 minutes at a time, kill a couple mobs then log off, because of RL commitment or w/e. I suppose solo charming for them is the best way to getting exp.
Also there certainly are people who play enchanters but don't like charming. It's just not their thing, they don't like the randomness of it, or maybe they have to watch a baby or their boss can walk in any second, etc. It's perfectly fine, in my book, for them to use an animation or whatever other tool they deem best suited for them.
