Can you give a little more insight on playing an Enchanter? I only had mine tag along in the group for buffs and Mesmerize before... I see now here http://wiki.project1999.org/Loraen%2...election_Guide that this guy ranks them in the #2 bucket for soloing and says they are better for duos and better in groups.

Isn't their DPS only through charming, really?

Basically, but charmed + haste + DW and your pet will do more dps than a player. Enchanters are solo gods, great in groups if you feel kind enough to grace them with your presence. They are the most gear dependent of the INT casters imo, but being an INT caster your not really that gear dependent.

Shaman, Druid, Necro, Mage are all good choices for what you want as well. I would say Bard as well, but their capabilities are a little odd imo. You can solo just about any mob, but very slowly. But you can swarm for crazy xp as well. I think they perform very well in groups, but only smaller groups. In a full group, the majority of what you do is going to be done better by someone else unless its a really odd composition. You end up in situations a lot where your just twisting songs to buff your already dismal melee dmg to slightly less dismal.
