Web, you are wrong. In a DRU/ENC duo, both classes should be petting it up, and pre-snaring/tashing the pets so charm isn't as dangerous. They can then tear through dungeons with these pets.

I think mage is the best pairing with DRU/ENC. Summon some pet items, get your own pet out and DRU/ENC buffed and you are off to the races.

You could also do necro, but they have more overlap with lich/crack not stacking (IIRC), not being able to buff other pets as much (no summoned items), and their nukes aren't as strong as the mages and their DoTs won't get to duration with 3 pets beating on something.

Bard is just funky with DRU/ENC. His buff songs won't affect the pets, his mana song is crappy until L55, so he's basically a DoT class with minor mana regen (inferior to breeze/clarity). He might be a better puller, but both ENC and DRU have lull.

DRU/ENC work as a duo because of how little overlap exists between the classes. One has heals, snare, DoTs, SoW, ports, HP/STR/HP regen buffs while the other has CC, tash, haste, slow, mana regen. Their largest overlap is with charm, and we all know charm is OP if it sticks (which should be pretty easy with snare/tash).

You bring up some very good points.
