Try finding a spot with other animals if you can. Just snare+panic animal and sick your pet on em, re-applying fear as you need to. As with charming, always be on guard to have an angry and buffed former pet coming to kill you. And remember to do some damage yourself too!

I've been charming frogs in PoS but never in classic so I cant advise you where to go to but this is how it works.

Find an animal and snare it. Always keep your charmed mob snared as you dont want to have a beefed, angry monster running towards at full speed you when charm breaks. Always re-snare at charm break! Pull him to a safe area where you set up your camp. Charm it and put it on guard. Next, buff it with STR and a DS. This will give it an edge against the mob it will be killing.

Now you can go ahead and pull another mob. Get it back to your camp, root it and sic the charmed mob on it. Throw a DoT, gain some distance to have time to react in case charm breaks. As someone has said, you'll need to make damage to get full exp.

I'd advise you to keep the non-charmed mob rooted so you'll have to deal only with your ex-pet should charm break but thats not necessary if you find it to be a mana drain.

As your pet kills the mob its been fighting your next move depends on how many HP it's got left. As you had it buffed up before pulling the other, it should have enough HP to be able to take on another without dying. In that case pull the next mob, have you your pet kill it.

Should your pet have only little HP left, break charm using either invis or hide and take it out. At best, it'll have about 5% left and will be an easy kill but still grant full exp. Whatever happens, you dont want your pet to die to the other mob as you'd lose out on easy exp.

So to sum it up:
1. Get a mob, snare, charm, buff; resnare on charm break!
2. Get another for your pet to fight, root, DoT
3. Break charm, finish off your ex-pet
4. Profit!

It takes some training to be able to pull it off smoothly but its definitly more fun than your usual root/rot. You can play around with pet buffs to see which works best, giving your pet the necessary edge. You'll might even throw a small heal now and then to make sure it survives the fight.
Great advice, but the problem that I had was that sometimes root/charm broke so fast that I waste all my full mana for blue 2 kills. My baby druid is lvl 16, maybe it was because lack of MR debuff? Or just random charm/root effects.

Well, I have little to no experience charming pre-PoP so I dont know whether charm works correctly here or not. Usually, charm duration is really unpredictable and random; it may last for the whole duration - but most often will not.

Back on live at 62, using Glamour and Call of Tunare, I remember it being kinda stable at times but I also remember break strikes where I had to reapply charm 3 4 times over a single fight. Glamour itself is 53 spell, thus not for new druids anyway. Root on the other hand is optional, simply to add a little more control over the mobs when charm breaks. Its a technique lended from charming Chanters but considering your mobs are snared and you're SoWed, root is not really needed as you'll be able to outrun them and recharm under most circumstances.

What I do is ensnare -> glamour of tunare (once i get the damn spell) -> charm -> savage spirit.

Pull new mob, snare (ES gloves), terrorize animal, sic pet, drones of doom (ES Vambraces), med.

Most mana efficient way to kill leaving minimal time where i have to sit out and actually med.
