One comment on your macro Matt. Since VI is changing assist back again,
the seperate /pet attack command isn't needed right? How about
substituting /pet taunt to try to reduce the damage to your party.

Charming in a group is the best thing to do on a 2 pull even if there is
a<BR>
chanter.  Once you get good, the mob will be doing 90% of its damage
on the<BR>
party's main target, 10% on you.  Thats a great tradeoff to 0-10%
damage<BR>
done to chanter/healer and mana spent mezzing.<BR>
<BR>
Here is my "pet assist" hotkey, it works great.  Rule 1,
let the group know<BR>
what you're doing, and make sure its ok with the enchanter.  Most are
happy<BR>
for the mana you save them.  Type A enchanters will not be happy, so
then<BR>
just let them mez the mob...<BR>
<BR>
Ok 2 Pull comes, assist the puller and find out what mob he is
killing.<BR>
Target the non targeted mob and hit charm, once it sticks (very low
resists<BR>
if you have a good CHA) hit the "pet assist" hotkey.<BR>
<BR>
Once you get this down its easy to weave 2 other songs while doing
this...<BR>
<BR>
"Pet Assist"<BR>
/pet back off<BR>
/assist <main assist name><BR>
/pause 3<BR>
/pet attack<BR>
<BR>
The pet back off is not necesaary, but seems to help.  Sometimes
charms mobs<BR>
will still attack other party members or pets, the pet back off will
prevent<BR>
this.  It also lets the party know what you have charmed, since your
pet<BR>
will say something.  THe down side is the second or so of melee you
lose<BR>
from your pet while he is waiting for the attack command.<BR>
<BR>
As a side not, /pet back off, is probably the best mem blur spell in
the<BR>
game.<BR>
