You root the mob your pet is fighting.
Use your stuns for recharming your pets.
Rooting the pet before you charm/recharm is a bad idea.

Also if you slowed the mob your killing your odds of being interrupted when they come after you are reduced.

That's actually why it's easier to charm later, IMO, because you have better spells to deal with recharm. I.E. two useable PBAE stuns (and even AE mez).

The fun part is that sometimes you actually WANT to break charm. That's the trick I figured out while charm kiting spectres so long ago. Sometimes your pet is going to lose. When that happens, root what it's hitting, break charm just before it dies.. Then CC them both, and either nuke your old pet dead or swap charm to what your pet was originally getting killed by and let it kill your former pet. This works well with spectres because they are slow...or at least they were on live, not sure here since Im only like level 12 and havent tried it.
