Opinions of a 31.93 Coercer here

Aye you can Chain mez, but remember which mez has gone on which mob! The different mezzes will look as though they stack, but they dont and you have to either self cancel or wait for mez to drop if you forgot which is on which mob. I have mobs with stacked Mezz on them and when oldest drops the Mobs go active and i have to clear mezz that appears to be on them first before the mob will remezz. Confused, you will be. Not sure if this is an 'SoE on purpose' but i've bugged it anyway.
Correct, it isn't easy to remember which mob got which mezz and is something that needs fixed but isn't game breaking IMO

I have the bugged 'max 12 maintained spells' problem, so I just keep Breeze/Haste/Speed on everybody [well, casters don't get Haste and Speed] that needs it.
I havn't hit upon a max, but maybe our Coercers group haste helps offset that.

I'm level 35 and what Coercer nuke does over 300 at level 31? Mastery spell?
28 - Despotic Mind (Mental DD, places impairment on target)
The imparment is if they die soon after you get a thought stone which is used as a compoent for other spells (Illusionist dont have to worry about those do they?) It has a 2 sec'ish cast time and a 8 sec'ish recast. I have it at Adept I. I had it land once for 400+ but was aginst a grey mob. It also has the bad side effect that it can not be used on mobs that are WAY grey. Because it give thought stones. They dont want us killing 50 level 10 mobs in teh newbie area to stock up before we go hunting. This sucks as I have to revert to my MUCH lower damage spell
26 - Muddled Thinking (Mental DD, interrupts, +chance to drain power)
Which only does 100-125 at Adept I when killing grey quest mobs.

Also at the higher levels [or at least 25+], the training mez spell stops working on most mobs you fight [and if it works on mobs you fight, you tend not to ned it at all] so you're stuck with really just the 1 mez spell.
Actually the training mezz has worked for me up to level 30-32 mobs, I forget exact level it quits working. I don't think i can use it on mobs above a white con ATM.

I'd say we come into our own during dangerous multiple mob encounters that and longer duration battles.
I agree 100%. I mezzed a very red Lord Everling in Nek Castle untill all his flunkies were dead and we rebuffed our short duration buffs the other day. Took us 3 attempts over a 2 week period but we finally killed him.
