I've been charming with 135ish charisma very recently with no issues so far (you get your charisma buff at 20 as well).
Admittedly I didn't start until a bit later than you but I went from 18-19 or so to 24 at the gorge hounds in EK near Gorge zone-line very quickly. I could count the really early breaks on one hand (about 2) and 2 deaths due to not running for zone when I should have done. Your level vs the mobs is the biggie. By about 22 the gorge hounds were doing back flips on command.
My routine:
1) Pull gorge hound with tash. Do at max range which should mean you can get charm off before it reaches you.
2) Pull another gorge hound with your lowest nuke and run to safe zone. Set pet on mob. Run to max range and tash and root mob. Keep mob rooted. I would then sit and med.
3) When one or both of the gorge hounds were less than 20 percent I would root mob again for safety and then taper enchantment pet to break charm. Root ex-pet as it runs for you and then nuke it down (should take one Sanity Warp). You are left with a rooted mob that I would normally burn down before starting again.
If charm breaks then you should be at max range so it's easy to mes then re-charm. In my limited experience so far level is the biggest factor. Just charm low blues, should be plenty around the Commons and Karana zones. Maybe the little drakes in Lavastorm though you may be better off waiting a couple of levels.
