Yeah IMO this is the thing that makes people think Enchanter charming isn't classic as a whole. The other mechanics are fine. It's that on live channeling was much harder and so if you were trying to cast while getting hit it was basically a total tossup on whether you'd survive (unless you were in the top end of the level range IIRC). A root break on top of a charm break? Forget about it.
