The ring gives you more control on charm breaks which means you can break with the mob at a sliver of life consistently. This lets you finish mobs with less mana intensive nukes and nuking is often the most mana intensive part of the ordeal. I routinely finish mobs in their mid-high 40s with a sub 300dd nuke, which is sub 5% hp. Failing to do so will require you to send a couple big boys downrange and that kills your mana efficiency. On my ench with like +14mana regen and TOT every 2 minutes I'm still limited by mana so on a druid it can only be worse. Some camp might not warrant it but if you have more than enough mobs on tap why not be efficient?
It is also absolutely easier to not lose mobs when they're a hair away from death, that is not even up for debate. With my keybinds, its 2 strokes and its done, almost instant. You can claim you have S-tier invis timing but when you're juggling a 5 mobs reverse charm your pet is basically losing anywhere between 5-20% hp per round. That 2 seconds delay is bound to miss the mark more often than not as it can be tricky even with a ring. It doesn't have to be that extreme though, just 2 rounds with double attacks and max hits can make you lose your mob.

Again I simply disagree. Nukes require you to stand still and cast them. Adding 1-2 seconds of cast time to your Nuke via Ring of Stealthy Travel doesn't make or break an encounter. It's really not difficult to break charm a second or two early.
Reverse charming is a riskier form of charming, so you are going to have RNG issues damage-wise regardless of which invis item/spell you end up using.
If you think it helps, that's great! That can make the game more fun. But I've seen no evidence to suggest there is a significant benifit to a 1-2 second faster break. If your mob is 1.5 seconds away from dying, you already are breaking at a very risky time RNG-wise, especially with potential lag or latency issues.
EDIT: Think about it this way. The longer you wait to break a charm, the higher the risk of losing the mob due to RNG damage. This is especially true if you are breaking charm 1-2 seconds before the mob's death at higher levels.
You would somehow need to show that the increased risk of losing the mob from breaking as late as possible is not as bad as the extra downtime from occasionally using 2 nukes instead of 1. Usually the loss of the mob is a bigger waste of time/resources than an occasional extra nuke from my experience.
