Most of your premises are false. Bards can't CC as well as a good enchanter, particularly at the higher end. But even at the lower end, a good enchanter is a more effective CC'er than an equally good bard.
Bards can't charm nearly as effectively as enchanters can, either. Not even close. Their charm breaks every 3 ticks, and they can't load their pets with huge haste. They have much less control over their charms and that severely limits their charm options. Bard charm is more of a CC tool than anything else.
And your whole argument for bard chain pulling revolves around the fact that bards aren't as useful as their counterparts. You're right, the group loses far less with a bard out pulling than with a monk out pulling. Think about that.
You say bards bring more than anyone else, but that's not really a virtue unless they're the best at the things they bring. An enchanter is better at tanking, DPS, CC, and haste. The things that set a bard apart are Selo's and resist songs, but those aren't terribly useful in a group setting. Hell, a ranger can tank, heal, snare, CC (root), buff, slow (with epic), and DPS. But they suck at all of it.
