One of the class defining abilities that makes Coercer's Unique is Charm. Possess Essence is basically an Illusionist Pet spell variation with out much gameplay impact potential. Charm hasnt been used for several years for Coercers and I think its a spell that could get some looking into for situational uses both Solo/Heroic and Raid. There are also several old AA abilties that could be used to boost Charm's capabilities.
Charm used to be used during raids as part of the mechanics against certain bosses where lesser mobs had to be charmed to gain buffs, or use particular abilities against said bosses. They werent necessarily used for DPS only mechanics. DPS and Utility benefits should be considered based on what a person is Charming. Coercers used to have to look at a NPC's buff list to see what kind of mobs they wanted to Charm and which ones to skip at any given time. Charm could still be super viable as an option for SOLO and HEROIC zones as well as long as the choice is there within the zone and its worth it. The pet window might have to be adjusted or allowed to command ANY pet or implement a toggle to be able to command Essences and Charmed pets differently. Right now the pet window can only affect two pets by having them respond in "auto attack".
But I think Charm with some tweaks could provide some much needed variety into Coercers once again.
