Buffing up a charmed mob and letting it chainsaw mobs while CHing is just about as fast of kills as letting two mobs kill each other and getting the exp for both. And ironically, the latter is safer, since if you buff a charmed mob to the point where it does as much dmg as two mobs beating on each other, it can do the same to you. The only advantage to #1 is that it is brain dead easy to pull off when everything goes right. Paladins can't do #1 but they do a better job at assisting #2 since they can melee the last 5% HP, as opposed to nuking which is expensive for the enchanter or a cleric. The paladin can heal an enchanter about as well as a cleric can since CH is useless, and they have emergency agro and tanking tools as well.
Played an enc to 60 and a paladin to mid 40s on blue, I can't think of a better duo choice for paladin than enchanter. The enchanter might have better choices for a duo partner but paladin is still top 3.
