Urns are going for 175-200k these days, not including any of the other potential costs, depending on how much help you can get. But your point stands, SWC is a must-have!
+1 on the Earring of Blazing Energy. I started this thread when I was 48 and was looking forward to seeing how effective the earring would be - clickable at 49. I'm 54 now, and having done almost exclusively charm soloing, I can say this item is probably the best bang for buck a leveling enchanter can have. The earring costs 2-3k, uses up about 35 mana for the click, and is just as useful, to this point at least, as a 100 mana slow when it comes to evening the tide of battle.. plus, you skip the hassle of changing spell gems, which we already do all too much. It's particularly effective when sending in 1 mob against a group of 3-4, as one might do in the bear pits. The amount of damage you're dishing out for 35 mana is pretty nuts.
As for my progression, I'm currently stockpiling DKP in hopes of scoring a Dain ring in the coming months. In the meantime, I've gotten my CHA to 255 buffed, and my MR up around 180 - it always feels good getting a timely resist against the occasional caster in HS, or against a mermaid during my time in Kedge.
As is, I am a few points over max CHA, and once I get OS, I'll have even more leeway with swapping CHA for +HP gear, so that's my plan going forward.
Keep the info coming!
