Sadly even I have to support the whirl nerf. At 45+ you could regen back the mana required to whirl during the stun duration itself, so it was basically endless killing. I went through level 45 in 6-7 hours or so doing the Ishva Mal's room plus the 4 that spawn in the adjacent room - 11 dark blue mobs every 15 minutes or so.
The biggest tip I can give you for pet soloing is to always make sure you have a max level pet - reclaim and resummon until you do. Even 1-2 extra levels for your pet will make a huge difference.
I highly recommend duoing. As an enchanter you can duo with just about anyone - I even duoed with a twinked rogue in unrest once. Every 10 seconds I would toss in a stun so he could slide around and backstab. My favorite groups are small/unusual groups where I have to be creative, and plus just soloing can get boring with no one to talk to.
