By all means if you are soloing and aren’t comfortable charm killing then wait a few levels. In a group you’ll have to root or something to get hit before “Bob” starts hitting for 25 damage, but hey man you do you not everyone has the same skill level. Make sure to keep charmed pet tashed and /pet guard a safe distance from you. If you can get Malo/snare from a shaman/mage/Druid/ranger will further mitigate risk.

I've been using knives mostly. I'm a MMA - Mixed Magical Arts.
Throwing is highly effective at dragging (1) monster to you to hit you. Take 3 steps back.
Since I maxed out throwing early on, i can do a consistent 7-10 damage per throw while my minion triple hits for about 25 and my DoTs do an additional 12 orso.
Around 50% used to be my cutoff point of nuking and 40% if I wanted the flee bonus.
That's more or less the strategy I've been using so far, it's fairly consistent and let's me know early on if I'm killing something that is too beefy. Having that extra 7 seconds to do anything is so vital when you're an enchanter.
The charm strategy I was using was more or less the same as this except with a much larger MP loss due to recharming, roots, messes, and emergency nukes. Additionally it caused multiple deaths around the board.
I generally don't do groups, there are never groups in the areas I'm killing, and the areas that I'm not killing are generally too high for my spells to even hit. It's a pretty funny conundrum when you think about it, because I wouldn't be able to really charm yellows and reds that effectively in the first place. :-)
Honestly though, since I just hit 24, it'll be interesting to see how my strategy changes because I believe my DoT spell is dropping off at this point and gone for about 5 levels until it upgrades to a better one.. but my new damage spell and pet should cover, so I may have to tank a bit more.
