First of all, I don't think there's really any (non-joke) build that's UNviable in the sense that you wouldn't be able to beat the game with it.
But anyway... Charmer/Summoner is an OK combo. Obviously, presence works well for both.
However, some of the best leaderships items right now (important for buffing your summons) such as Helm of Heroes and Conqueror's Breastplate encourage tank builds rather than tease-builds, and there's really no reason to go Charmer if you aren't doing a tease build to take advantage of Stylish (assuming you aren't against multiclassing).
