There used to be the same problem with Enchanter mobs, they could Charm you with ease, even if they were *way* green to you. But that was mentioned as changed in one of the recent flurry of patch messages -- now you get a normal level/MR check against being Charmed. And I can verify it. Last night I soloed the Sirens outside of Sirens Grotto to clear them away before our raid group came through, and although they tried to Charm me a total of about 30 times, not one stuck (58 Paladin with 91 MR). Hooray. I wonder if Drowsy and some other "too easy to land" spells now work by the same rules.
