I got an epic on my necro at 50 and it's actually a very nice leveling toy, though vp staff is both easier to get and way better. The main benefit is that the epic is 1h and both vp staves are 2h, even though one is clearly supposed to be 1h since it has half the stats. It's easy to overlook and not really a mechanical advantage but it's just straight up annoying to swap 2h/dw, so its nice that the epic isn't fucked up like that.
In HS it makes for a very capable safety tool to snare everything after you root it while charm killing, since there's lots of space there and the mobs aren't very resistant. Obviously you're only going to get it at a low-ish level when you have a main feeding you plat and dkp though.
When grouping I've mostly just been keeping a charmed hasted pet. Clicky haste velious pants are very useful for that. If you keep a hasted charm pet around and occasionally cast a CC spell that in my experience has been enough to be very welcome in a group. You're not an enchanter, but most classes aren't, and as long as you can charm you're going to be a sick group member imo.
I duo with enchanters really well, since you can benefit from the enchanter's tash, have up to 2 DAs to DA hold shit while pulling for an AE mez, and the enchanter benefits from necro heals a lot. It's great XP churning.
