Lol I'm not amazing at being an Ench though - maybe I should change to a two slot! I can't remember who recommended one-slot.

Whatever works for you man. There's no best way to play. I just agree with whoever said that two slots makes for enough swapping. I'd go nuts with only 1, especially if I'm using bedlam's regularly.

Exactly! I tried to run your setup after watching your videos and it didn't work well for me. I run only 1 stun and 1 swap (sometimes two but usually one) 85% of the time

What do you do on a charm break if your stun gets resisted?

If I'm working with a hasted mob I keep 2 stuns. Unhasted regular mobs I hope to channel a mez. I keep mez in my first slot so it will GCD immediately no matter what. I usually always have bezerkers up so the mob will beat on me a little but I mez, re-rune and go about my day

It works for charm soloing and duo and trio. Perhaps more swap slots would be better in a bigger group. While there's no right way to do things, you've done more impressive things with your ench than I have, so I'm always open to ideas.

I have:
Mez
Tash
Root
AE Mez
Slant
Skew
ToT
Swap

My typical solo/duo is just like yours except for two swap slots; tash gets swapped in and out. Bedlam, tash, slow, charm, lull, other buffs, slow, a third stun for casters all need attention regularly... but I figure since tash only gets used at the start (and if I get an add I'm likely to mez it first which buys me time to swap spells to get Tash in), so I leave it out of my permanent setup to give myself a bit more flexibility.

Bigger groups (or raids) without a sham? I keep tash loaded instead of one of my swap slots. It gets used so frequently due to faster kills, I can't be assed to keep swapping it. But with a sham? Eh. Depending on what we're fighting I don't tash at all, I just load it for recharms, since I'm not on slow duty and the sham is possibly doing his mr debuffs anyways and I sure as hell don't want to tash before he lands slow.

I tend to only have this up in places I'm tight on mana. Those tend to be places where allure doesn't stick and I'm using rapture. Outside of that I see very little point in mana capping.

I can't imagine rolling with only 1 stun.

I end up playing with only 1 swap slot a lot, it's not that bad if you use top slot as the swap slot. The few seconds you save using top slot to swap really adds up over an hour or two, like being able to cast Allure as soon as it's memd, cast Forlorn deeds as soon as it's memd, or Bedlam after 9 seconds instead of 12. But yeah only having 1 swap slot would suck if you don't use top slot.
