Charged strike needs to at least lvl 15 for it to be effective against hell baal. Level 20 or higher would be better, but that skill investment depends on whether you have skills to effectively kill Lightning Immunes or not. An idea if you want to stick with jab is to use a rare javelin with ctc amp on weapon switch-get Baal amped, and your killing time should go down. You could also use rare throwing axes with ctc or Lacerators for that purpose. I do think that jab is faster than Charged Strike, but would have to ask Adekye the answer as to how much faster it is.
The mana use for charged strike is less than LF, and CS is mainly used for mopping up stray monsters and bosses. CS gets 10% damage bonus per level of points you put into LF, so your investment there will help. If you do come across some thunderstroke javelins, those are very good for using Charged Strike against Baal. You haven't mentioned a merc-what type is she using?
