The Chronos guy in Culling of Stratholme will usually butcher 2 of the 3 before hitting me. Any random impale effect also seems to target them willy nilly (the magnataur in the trophy room fight in UK for example). The same choice logic seems to apply to spirit wolves.

The problem is, MI usually doesn’t do enough damage as any other spell you could cast in that GCD. So if you’re not in trouble, the only useful time to cast it is when you’re moving.

They only inherit your spellpower in terms of buffs, so any additional haste or crit you have going on is wasted on them. Cast them before the Bloodlust hits (not Heroism – it’s BLOODLUST!!!) so as not to waste a GCD of your prime casting.

Now… come 4-piece T10 it looks like they will be worth casting…
