Technically, most of them are debuffs, save for Feytouched.
Imo best happens to be Pure/Transcendent Frost for debuffs (debuff only occurs on Pure/Transcendent). Currently bugged, but if it gets fixed, it will remain as a decent 7% defense debuff.
Bronzewood is decent, but watch the downtimes of the debuff.
Plaguefire is decent at transcendent, but I found that keeping up 3 stacks of Plaguefire was difficult on my GF.
Feytouched is both a damage buff and a damage debuff on enemies. I usually ignore the damage buff aspect of Feytouched, but the damage debuff aspect is pretty good if you need to keep your and/or the team alive.
Terror is bad, unless you don't own any weapon enchants (which means go buy a cheapo Plaguefire). Seriously, even a Transcendent Vorpal gives a better debuff than a Transcendent Terror.
And maybe dread?
When Frost got first fixed in edit: Mod10, it was a 7% defense debuff. I am hoping it will get refixed to this state.
Number for number, 7% is the best of all the debuffing enchantments, with only a Pure/Transcendent Dread being equal.
Frost's 7% defense debuff was also unmitigated, unlike many of the other debuffs. So Frost's unmitigated 7% beats out a T. Bronzewood (5%), a T. Plaguefire (4.8%), a T. Vorpal (2%), and a T. Terror (1.2%)
In addition, Pure/Transcendent Frost is a defense debuff, which are highly valued nowadays, as defense debuffs have no cap, unlike DR or multiplier debuffs (examples: Divine Glow, Mark, Thorn Ward, Crushing Pin, or Ray of Emfeblement)
The only downside with Frost is its relative up-time, but otherwise, a Frost refixed to its 7% defense debuff will keep it relevant in PvE for the reasons stated above.
Numbers have been taken from @michela123's debuff spreadsheet.
Last question how long takes this debuff?
I am unsure.
Tooltip says 4, but lolcryptictooltips.
@michela123 once told me it was 8 seconds, but I am bad at testing timers (you might need to ask her for the exact details).
@thefabricant says you can refresh the Frost debuff if you trigger the Frost debuff with a damage over time ability (ex: Icy Terrain).
I ask about how it's work, when i hit a enemy, this 7% debuff is on enemy all time?
"@michela123 once told me it was 8 seconds"
ok and now if this 8 sec was end how long i must wait for renewal this buff?
It's something like bronzewood 10 sec debuff and 10 sec wait for renewal in fight? or it something like terror all time active in fight?
In Frost's case, I think it's something like:
Up for 8 seconds, on cooldown for 12.
If someone tested bronzewood? this 5% really work on enemy +70 lvl, and this 10% DR worked?
and Feytouched working only for me or for all pt?
The debuff does not count as a marking effect ala GF Tab or Enforced Threat.

I am unsure of the "10% DR" part.
I know that you're referencing the tooltip which says something about "reduce the damage you and your team take by 10%", but I have not had the time to test this and I wouldn't know. I also asked the local Bronzewood expert, @diogene0, and he is unsure if the damage debuff works.
As for Feytouched...
The BUFF (ie, damage bonus) is given only to the person with the highest quality Feytouched (ie, a person with a T. Fey gets the buff over another person using a Greater Fey).
The DEBUFF (ie, the part that reduces enemy damage) should work for every time the debuff'd enemy is trying to hit one of your teammates.
Earlier i used plague and terror but now i think it's a weak ench.
Bronzewood is not bad but im too not sure about 10DR
Frost is good but it's working only 8 sec and 12 sec cooldown.
Fey is average.
And i still not sure which is the best -.-
tbh I think your overthinking things too much here, none of the enchants you have listed are going to massively increase your buffing of the party, we are talking a few % here and there. Better off working out how to keep ITF and Crushing Pin up as close to 100% of the time as possible, if you are looking to maximise your buffing.

1). Is SW more dps or tank based?
2). Yes. I am panzer!
3). Get ACT if you want to celebrate your epeen.
4). Horniness will not stand between me and what I believe - "MM"
In my opinion, if you dont know which ench use try get PURE plague or Trans Bronzewood. It's only my opinion but frost, terror, dread, fey, bronzewood or plague they are not perfect.
ps. again DPS classes they are favored, they have very good ench like Vorpal or Dread but BUFFs classes have only middling enchancements.
Plus, it looks cool.
