It's an encounter power. If it were spammable, then yes, fighting amongst yourselves would be annoying. But as an encounter power, in terms of pure damage it will almost certainly do less per target than Dancing Flames (often much less), and in terms of control guaranteed slide 5 is still rather underwhelming (to compare with other multitarget "control" spells see Force Volley or Crushing Titan's Fist from the PHB).
Honestly, IMO the main thing that keeps Mass Charm from being a crap power are the Enchantment Apprentice and Master features. Without those, I think most Wizards (or Wizard-spell-using monsters) are better off taking something else.
