Ench animation is not weak yet not strong. It is mid 40s so against high level targets it won't land much and it will get hit hard. It quads for ~210 and has like 3khp. The damage isn't too bad once hasted but 3khp will have you chain rune on harder fights, not super effective.
Very nice to have but it isn't what will put you on the solo artist leaderboard, a charmed pet is almost always better even if more of a hassle. It nearly solo'd ghost of kindle (52) but a max level krup knight would probably require a lot of help to keep it alive, at that point a torched dar is much less trouble even if charm may break. And yeah you could chain animations but you'd have to rebuff them and if the mob summons you'd have to mez it first, not sure if that is less of a PITA.
Most tough charm fights hang on if charm will break or not, basically all RNG. Shamans seem a lot more laid back like snaggles said.
