About the Charm/Domination thing...
A monster will keep attacking its target even if the target changes from Enemy to Friend. This will happen if a monster is attacking your party member who gets Dire Charmed (& thus the party member becomes a Friend of the monster) & if the monster is attacking a party member & the monster gets charmed (& thus the monster becomes a Friend of the party member).
It's just a quirk where monsters keep attacking who they've been attacking & don't re-check to see "should I be attacking this person?". I'm pretty sure this doesn't apply if a monster is heading towards a character with the intentions of attacking but hasn't actually started an attack yet, although it does apply to monsters with missile attacks who've begun an attack on the party member.
The very, very minor upside I've noticed is that if one of your characters is attacking a monster & the monster gets Charmed, continued attacks by that same character won't turn the monster hostile (a new character attacking will, though).
