you are correct in stating that druid charming can be effective. charming in general is extremely effective, and that's part of the reason why enchanters are so powerful. still, i can count on one hand the number of druid's i've seen able to effectively utilize charming in a group environment, because most of them are terrible at this game and partly because druid charming is extremely limited. as far as raids goes: the ability to use charm against raid targets in old world classic is essentially limited to nagafen and vox. using lvl 50+ charmed pets in the planes will be dangerous and unreliable until kunark comes and the level cap is raised.

in the many cases where druid charm cannot be used, what else do they bring to a group? subpar heals, subpar dps, subpar buffs, all things that specialists do better. the versatility that allows the druid to perform well in a solo environment is exactly what limits his usefulness in a group environment.
