I think rooting the target (at least when soloing) is standard protocol. The other thing to do is keep rune up at all times. I find myself more limited by HP than mana when I charm solo. And Rune III should be enough to get you through 1-2 rounds without taking much if any damage.
And nanto has it right - on the chanter, when soloing, using the lowest level spell that is effective is just fine. I used to just use Whirl because it afforded enough time for a quick re-tash and re-charm, but now I just use the low level mez.
TBH though, I find the XP comes much faster just using the animation.
