I guess a few questions first.
What race are you? If you have it available, snag the Snare necklace (

If you can't use snare, or are trying to duo indoors, I'd say you should be rooting/slowing mobs and keeping one pet alive. Charm kiting/breaking at low %s works fine solo, but not something I'd want to do in a duo/group environment really.
What/where are you soloing? If pet is hasted+buffed, and the mobs are being slowed, you really shouldn't be losing the Enchs pet. I'd say if you really wanted to group/go dungeoning with Enchanters to make a Cleric, but if you're just casually running into Enchanters a lot, don't worry too much about it. You'll be beating full groups Exp-wise even if all you do is buff and pull anyhow.
