Hmm - my CHA (unbuffed) is 130 - and at level 44 charming (albeit probably
pretty high) blues was dismal. I wonder if a) you're luckier than I am <g>
b) that last 8 CHA makes a huge difference or c) a stat other than CHA comes
into play?

Hmm I've never had much problem with Pixie strike (then again I have 138
charisma without any buffs). I can generally make it stick on anything blue
or lower regularly. Anything white or higher is about a 30-40% sucess rate
but if it's blue I can mez it about 70% of the time. So Pixie is always an
option in my song lineup.
I prefer to charm as crowd control though it tends to wrek havoc with pet
users who don't keep track of their pets (have had more mage pets damn near
kill me than I can count). But if we get a bad pull where I have to lock
down 3 (or 4) I will use charm and pixie together
Charm: Sick on spare
Mez spare 3
Mez spare 4
works pretty well. I'm only 45 though so I can't swear it will work up into
the 50's. Works ok at 45 though
