do full mind spec until lvl 34 at least.
-charm up to level 50 mobs (never higher then your own level)
-get area of effect (aoe) mezz for 59 seconds
after that either do mind until lvl 44 or spec body

Ahhh but with the upcoming Nerfs (1.5 or so) to Mez is that realy a good Idea.
That was my orignal spec but I have changed to a goal of 24 Mind 48 Body.
Yes I wont be able to get an even con pet soon (currently lvl 34) but I have not hunted solo since lvl 24 and from higher lvl guild sorcerers this is not likely to change (gobo/tanglers anyone).
And in RvR and groups a pet is close to useless as most of the time you are dead in 3 hits (or one bloody back stab from a stealther), I can still get a pet for self defence, he just wont be as high.
At this lvl you will get the highest DD and an almost as good Root (1 min as well as the lvl 24 - 46 second Mez) as well as some powerfull debuffs.
Blame Mythic for destroying the CC abilities of a Sorcerer and turning us into Light Wizards.
I hope this made sense but in the end it's your choice.

If I was going to do it again, I'd aim to get Body to 30 in time for doing Pygmy Tanglers (level 38 or so).
I went the high Mind route and got the level 34 Mez pretty quickly, but since I've had my AoE root it's made things so much easier at Tanglers (with early Body yoou can spam AoE root, then land the 24 spec Mez over the top).
Pets are nice to have for soloing definitely so try to keep Mind just high enough for at least a blue pet.
This LINK may be useful.
Also, as Elvewen said there are some Mez nerfs upcoming and many Sorcs are thinking of going full Body for a damage-based template.
[EDIT] Forgot to say, my current template is 34 Mind and will probably go 41 Body.

:sleeping: mezz will still be the Sorcerors defining skill and the one which your fellow Albions will love you for in PvE and RvR.
34 Mind, rest in body is the best template, for PvE and RvR. Your pet although useless sometimes is still a great tool. Especially if you choose your pet carefully (and tell your group to fo if they won't make an effort to get you a good pet, or leave and get 1 solo, then rejoin). Throughout all 3 frontiers there are truly nasty pets for sorcerors.
And please, mezz hasn't been nerfed, its effectiveness has been halved at the extremeties of the mezz. A 1min mezz will still result in a 30s mezz at the edge of AE. That is enough to turn the tide, just instruct your nukers/tanks to kill from the edge of the mezz inwards. You also will get Cure Mezz like the other mezzers (who have been 'nerfed' precisely the same as you btw).
imho, if you spec a Sorc to nuke and neglect the Mind line, you will get sucky nukes, poor mezz and a green con pet. If you want to nuke, make a wizzy

Agreed, I'll probably be staying 34 Mind 41 Body - but 48 Body after respec is tempting.
/em points to Veeshan's RP's

Yeah actually the battle sorceror spec is best for RvR But Veeshans RP count is more down to the fact he played well, and more importantly, lots. RP is generally a function of time rather than spec.
