People vastly exaggerate the hide racial ability's utility. First of all, I have it on my Dark Elf too and it's skill is like 50 and will never level up, meaning it works maybe 30% of the time at best. The other 70% of the time your "Hide" attempt will fail, and you will have to wait 8-10 seconds for the cooldown to try to break the charm again.
Does this sound like a reliable way to break a charm? HELL no. People try to act like it has a 100% success rate when really, it's terrible and you're a million times better off getting a Goblin Ring if you can afford it, because it has a 100% success rate and is instant, with no cooldown.
I will admit is is great for going AFK, though.

Actually I think 50 skill in hide translates to 50% success rate.
Hide is amazing. As was mentioned above, if it doesn't work use something else like an invis ring. If it does work, you've just saved yourself some mana/trouble.
Incredibly useful for going afk, ducking away from an incoming train or wipe pull, etc.
Even if you make the argument hide is only marginally useful, it's not like other races have their own abilities to compete with it.
I'd recommend enchanter. Incredibly powerful class... versatile, great solo, great grouping, amazing dps, amazing utility.
