I'm not speaking from experience here. But most
enchanters over about lvl 20 seem to feel that they've
screwed up if the group has to zone due to a bad pull.
I don't know what spells they use. AoE Mesmerize,
Lull, Memory Blur...crowd control is what Enchanters
do. They turn a fight against 12 MOB's into 12
different fights against lone MOB's. And Charm works
great as well in those situations.

Sure, it takes longer, but my money's still on the
Enchanter.
