Thay being said, once I hit 60 and my mana pool hit 3500 plus, I think I have memmed allure a handful of times. It’s just not better than Boltran’s in almost any way once your mana pool can handle it.

I think it really depends on your play style and which spell works best for your current situation. If you're goal is single kills on 55+ mobs (like DS), or just charming a level 52-53 mob, Boltran's is better. But if you're goal is to kill as many mobs as possible by keeping a pet for hours at a time (i.e. Fe'Dhars), Allure is the way to go because it can last 19 minutes, compared to 7 minutes for Boltran's, and costs 155 less mana.
Also keep in mind that there are times when you will have very bad luck with charm breaks. The other day I had 3 charm breaks on one mob with my light blue shambling cube pet that I had been using for 2 hours without a problem.
3 Mezs + 3 Allures = 795 mana
3 Boltran's = 1200 mana
If you're already low on mana, that extra 405 can make a big difference. Then again, if your pet is not rooted or mezed within melee range of the mob, the 1 minute, 12 seconds you have to wait for your mezes to wear off could mean that you need to re-root and re-slow the mob (300 mana), negating most of the mana you saved from using Allure instead of Boltran's, in addition to screwing up your spawn cycle if your mobs' spawn timers are close together.
EDIT: I should also mention that charm breaks are a great time to re-tash your pet, especially if your pet's tash is going to wear off in the next few minutes, which you can't really do without using a mez on your pet. This negates the time you save from using Boltran's over Allure.
