If you seriously think cle/enc/war has low dps, you don't know how to play very well.

It depends on what you compare it to. Compared to replacing the cleric with a druid with DS, nukes, and dots, then yes. (Not to mention the regen, snare, sow and quick travel aspect.)

Now if you said specifically versus undead then a cleric MIGHT have a dps advantage but that's assuming the cleric doesn't need to heal much.
In a general all purpose situation though, I would pick the druid over the cleric.

If you seriously think a druid - unloading everything he's got - could seriously outdps a hasted, dual-wielding, procing charmed pet, then I'm starting to agree with Karsten about you.

If you give haste and two fast weapons to a charm pet, I regret to inform you of what will happen when charm fails. Especially without snare.

Unless your group is extremely talented and coordinated (and well geared at that), that's going to end up being more pain than it's worth. Given, I haven't experienced charm on project 1999, but from my experiences kunark era-live (and beyond), that's simply a recipe for disaster. Of course, aside from that very rare, very skilled, very well geared enchanter.

Of course, if you're going to go that route, why not use a ranger rather than a warrior so you can snare your pet? Not like it makes alot of sense to heal a warrior when you can just let the pet tank. I seem to recall snare being something most enchanters wouldn't consider hasting a charmed pet without.
