Others beat me to it, but yeah, the scenario 1 vs 2 thing is a false dichotomy. The real xp by the time you could solo com is in reverse charming 3-5 mobs at once.
If you don't do that for some reason, you still have to consider time spent not killing when using a buffed pet due to: splitting rooms that aren't already split, letting pet heal for 90 seconds every 4-5 fights, pet being more dangerous to you on a charm break, etc. You also seem to be using a more expensive nuke than is sometimes necessary to finish off a mob, inflating the mana needs of scenario 1.
There's an hour-long CoM video in my collection, if anyone wants to see charming solo enchanter in action in there.
