I'd never be able to find it, but I remember back in the day the developers stating several times that enchanters were giving charisma too much credit. That it played a role in charms (and mez?), but that level and MR were much bigger factors. Something like, if your level and MR checks fail your CHA check has a small chance of helping you out.
My, very hazy, memory of charming pre-Luclin is that charm normally didn't last long enough for me to kill 2 mobs and often didn't last long enough to kill 1. That may have been user error, though.
