Starting Up a campaign

Hey folks.
So my game group is finishing up our current game and I am wanting to run a game of 7th Sea as it is my turn to GM.
I have three issues though that I have never been able to figure out how to make work when I play and GM in 7th Sea.
First Glamour Mages. Every game I have ever played has seen Glamour mages outpace every other player in terms of usefulness and power in my experience the games quickly turn into the glamour mage and his/her plucky sidekicks. Has anyone ever encountered this problem before and if so how have you dealt with it have there been any house rules that have helped?
Porte Mages I have had the exact opposite problem with. On paper and in the fluff they are incredibly cool. When the game starts though they are a giant porte hole that simply devours xp and gives nothing back. The players have had an incredibly hard time finding useful ways to use their powers.
The last issue I have run into is Panache. In the games I have played it seems to be hands down the most powerful stat. Have people run into this problem and if so is this something that needs to be fixed?
