Yeah I understand EverQuest DSM. I just explained that enc/clr and mnk/shm are 2 of the strongest duos in the game. I just don't typically see people mashing them together in this way and this trio never stuck out to me as particularly popular or talked about as the best trio or anything of the sort. I'm sure this trio is plenty strong and capable of most any content that is trio-able. I don't think a non biased sane person could or would argue that a cleric is probably a better option to go with enc/mnk than shaman though. The charm is doing the lion's share of the DPS and tanking and CH is honestly just miles better than torpor for maintaining charms. There's not really any argument about this from people that don't have an unrealistic borderline obsessive love for shaman for whatever reason.

I disagree. CH is nice for the pets, but it doesn't allow you to do camps that Enchanters cannot do, like West Waste Dragons. You can still do those with Torpor, CH isn't needed.
You are putting far too much emphasis on CHing pets. With a Shaman's 75% slow your pet isn't going to be taking a ton of damage, so Torpor is fine for healing. Why do you think Shamans can Torpor/Slow tank really hard mobs? The same logic applies, only the person/pet tanking the mob differs. If anything it is better when a charmed pet is tanking, because a charmed pet is going to tank better than a Shaman. They will have more dodge/riposte/parry, and NPC AC works a bit different than player AC.
And if you don't want to lose DPS on the Charmed pet via occasional Torporing, the Shaman or Monk can tank instead.
