Err. Being a chanter is practically the same at 60 as at 20.
Like half the spells you cast at 60 you've had since 20. Mesmerize, root, lull, calm, mesmerization, memory blur. If you read about how to use those spells in like, Loraen's guide, or watched me use them in the videos in my signature, that's basically how you use them at any level excepting for mana concerns at very low levels. Stuff like level 4 mez and level 16 aoe mez go on your bar as soon as you get them and basically never come off except when you die. Lol.
Everything else you basically just have the lower-level versions of the same spells a 60 uses. Tash, charm, berserker strength, shielding, rune, nukes. Ignore slows until like 30+ at least. In groups keep your shielding up but probably skip runes unless there's very light healing present. Magic resist buffs are great once you have them, at least keep them on the tank. When solo don't skimp on the runes but pass on the berserker line unless you know you're gonna have a tough fight and get beat on since they don't last long. It helps to pull sometimes in groups cause that tash you throw out won't generate much aggro as the initial action like it will later. Animations are solid damage boosts (pull with tash and get hit, or root a mob and stand closer to it than everyone else to get hit) until you charm, which you really should be doing before 20 but maybe not right away at 12-16.
Bind keys to your spellcasts instead of trying to use the 6 hotkeys for them. Use hotkeys for pet commands, a clicky item, etc. Baler's idea is ok unless you are fighting multiple things with the same name. Since stuff doesn't summon, make use of open space to keep your distance from your charm and every other monster too. For example, if you're solo charming to exp and you stay at max casting distance, you probably won't even need to use a stun or mez or root when you have a charm break because you'll have enough time to recharm and get your pet to pick up aggro again before the mobs even get to you.
