I think the above post on confirmation bias says it all. I used to notice a few times when my cha buff was off and charm broke I would think "aha...it does matter.". That was my reasoning until I realized that when my cha was above 200 and charm ended after 10 seconds, I would think "Aha..well, it was just a fluke.". This was on the same mob.
Being a lot of levels higher than the mob and tashing/malo it is far more important for duration. I've actually started wearing imbued chain for ac and int and agi and more hp gear. I enjoy chainstunning as it saves the cleric mana and is different than the way I've played the class up until this point. If you use your safest stunlock combo it does drain mana so manapool starts to matter. As a chanter I have actually tanked doing this and taken no damage. The existence of the incandescent wand which must be melleed to proc a stun suggests the original devs recognized this was one possible playstyle, I really need to get one. You can do this and still cc and buff, etc. Honestly it's a refreshing change.
I have never noticed an excess of Mez resists with charisma much less than 200, my experience tells me that the importance of charisma is overrated with the exception of not getting aggro on lull resist, it unquestionably makes a difference there. Non aggro for lull resist seems to be the only use for charisma that Enchanters seem to unanimously agree matters.
