If people want to say the only benefits of instant cast invis for charm break are less potential for interrupts and perhaps a few more med ticks, that is more reasonable than the previous arguments for Goblin Ring. There is no evidence to suggest Goblin Ring helps secure kills or helps with saving nuke mana.

Ring of Stealthy Travel also provides benefits that Goblin Ring does not. Goblin Ring requires self targeting. Ring of Stealthy Travel is self cast, so you don't need to spend the time swapping back to your original target. You can also self invis at any time, saving more mana and spellbook time depending on the scenario.

the evidence suggesting it helps secure kills and saves mana is in the experience of every player who has ever used it. being able to wait longer to break lets you have more control over hp, and mob hp is what determines how much mana you need to spend. instant cast removes the need to rely on rng and means less killed charmed pets when pushing for mana efficiency

"time swapping back" is pressing 1 button that works instantly (maybe even less if you add /tar to a simultaneous macro, never tried). valuing a fraction of a second of time when you don't value an instant cast and think spending 2 seconds to invis is good is very strange. and those valued milliseconds are a period of time where time spent no longer matters, because the time-sensitive action of breaking charm has already been completed
