solo charming, like i said, can get rough. and the penalty is extremely annoying to deal with. at that level, i charm soloed in upper guk around the lower guk zone line. the basic flow is simple:

find an adequate pet (this should be dark blue to you, but NEARLY turning light blue. e.g. the lowest dark blues possible).
mez your pet, sit for 2 ticks, tash and charm him. park him in a safe area.
find an adequate target. pull with a 5 dmg nuke (do NOT pull with tash, you want your charm to be able to peel your pulled mob instantly).
when your pet has safely engaged, root and tash your target. ideally, you want your pet to win the fight but just barely. there's a couple of tools you can use here, such as hasting your pet, dsing your pet, and slowing the uncharmed mob. you should generally do it in that order, as slowing the uncharmed mob is essentially nerfing your killing rate.

if you did everything right, both your pet and your charmed pet should be near death. you need to break charm before killing in order to claim full exp for both of your kills. there's no safe way to do this in a dungeon, you must invis yourself or hide, CC your pet while he is nomming on your face, and then kill both mobs with a dot or nuke.

if you did something wrong and one mob has a lot of life left, you will have to charm a new pet to kill the other mob. this can be awkward and hard to adjust. generally speaking, getting more than 1 add will mean death, so it's best to CC everything as best you can and gate.
