Stacking full buffs and SB/PoS Healing is actually pretty useful. Plus the one necro allowed to DoT can do ok damage. FD+Rez/Conjure Corpse is more important since dragging KoS people = aggro in many zones.
They aren't a useless class - they are just weaker than the others in Velious (imo). People's opinions are gonna vary based on how much weight they give to aspects of the game as well as their perception of the class.
Peronally, I think enchanters will actually be strong come Velious. For the most part, people on live didn't realize how strong charm was (or how to gameplan around charm breaks) until dire charm in SoL.
Aside from Sleepers Tomb, EToV, WToV, and Yelinak (from a practical standpoint at least) - there's decent to awesome pets for everything. NToV allows for pets since all the dragons are mobile to start.
I'm not entirely sure of how far charmed pet DPS will fall relative to players come Velious when raid mob level increases from 65 to 70 while optimal pets still hover around 46-51 (though, common mobs are off the standard 120 + 4*level max hit in Velious.
