Qinie is right about the lvl 16 mesmerization. It is
THE spell for enchanters. Learn to use it well and
you will be a hero. But it does not replace the
single mob mesmerize. I always have both memorized.
Keep in mind that mesmerization will hit you too if
you are in the radius, so make sure you have someone
to watch your back or group gate you out.

Up until the last patch I still used the level 4
version of mesmerize. It cast fast and was not
resisted frequently. Most importantly it only cost 20
mana. YOu could chain cast on a bunch of things
almost indefinitely, with time to meditate between
casts. Now that the higher level ones cast at the
same speed I am trying out the higher level ones.
Entrance works quite well and lasts more than one
minute. I just got Dazzle (49) and have not yet been
able to decide if it is worth 125 mana.

The first time you save your group from a massive
train with mesmerization, you are going to have an
instant fan club. I get constant requests in game to
go help some group or other break the spawn in some
nasty place. Most of the highest level camps are
extremely difficult to break in to without an
enchanter. By level 29 (clarity) you will become a
much more popular party member. Just be patient!

As for general spell levels, yes, when you first get
new spells they are not very effective. I generally
had to use the previous rank of spells for a couple
levels beyonf when I received the new ones. But, in
general, the new spells are more mana efficient, so
once they are becoming effective, you should start
using them. good luck!
