Troll illusion is not very good anymore, since they nerfed it (pretty long ago). You just have to keep refreshing rune all the time, your goal has to be to never drop below 90% hp. For exping i used reverse charming even before the pet nerf, now that the exp is slower with a pet id highly recommend that. In general you charm a good mob, buff him up with ac buff and haste, give him 2 weapons, then realease and root him. Keep him rooted, now you go charm other mobs, and send them against the rooted mob. When your "pet" is at low % you break it and finish it off with a nuke. You gain full exp, and the "rootmob" kills your pets faster than a charmed mob would. Just make sure root never breaks, refresh it during each fight. When the rootmob is low hp, get some distance and mem blur so he regens 4% hp a tick. Best is if your rootmob has mana too, the sepulcher skeletons in HS are awesome for this, so you can use theft of thought on them all the time (= almost infinite mana).
A goblin bazheghul ring is awesome for instant charm breaking. If you get used to it you can exp really fast as the rootmob deals a ton of damage with haste and 2 weapons. This works also for nameds, just debuff them before you charm them, and if you have a caster mob you can interrupt its casts with the "sit" button. My main problem was that i sometimes had to wait for the rootmob to regen hp, cause my mem blur failed. So i started mem blurring it after each fight before i go pulling, and i barely hat any downtimes anymore. I alsways did root - mem blur before i went pulling the next mob. I made 55-60 mainly like that, and it was very good exp.
If they fixed armor on pets by now you could also give the rootmob a haste mask (summoned by mages) and some neg mr armor.
