Would it work the same way if I were to equip my Merc with it?

Yes, the proc works on merc, too. But as it was told already, is hard to put him on the fire. You better let him fight some mobs but for better results you can remove his weapon (and

Helm if you want) to not kill them to easy and have time to receive some hits.

But even he have

Fade activated he still dies quite often. I quit getting him faded and start the fight with his usual gear.

Do you think using a cursed Lister as my bound demon would beat him with me and my

Conviction merc on the periphery? From what I can tell, he's pretty susceptible to

Smite

Warlock is pretty good at keeping your merc alive. I prefer

Hephasto the Armorer over

Lister the Tormentor because of his speed and charging appetite.
A good way to keep your merc alive for longer is to make the enemy to engage your demon instead of the merc. You can do this in two ways.

First, you can

Teleport your demon on top of the enemy using

Death Mark or second, if you have Enigma, you

Teleport yourself along with you army a little further away from the enemy. Heph is always quicker than my merc and he engage the boss first and Emilio is coming afterwards to help him and stays away from the bosses blows. If he starts to take damage I retreat a little allowing Heph to

Charge again first.

If you rely on your merc's

Conviction you have to keep him alive as much as possible. If you get a demon with

Conviction (Lister or Heph for tankiness) you can beat Ubers even without your merc but depends of you gear, if you can do enough damage to counter theirs life regen. After you put your demon in direct fight with the boss you can find a relative safe spot and apply damage to him. My fire warlock can do Ubers before

Fade expires.

Great info. Thanks. I actually have a bound cursed Heph with

Conviction now so I'd probably try a

Pandemonium Event soon before the 3.2.0 nerfs the crap our of me and my demon

Before you go take a look at this map and learn how to take the fight. Try to lure Meph first and put him down away from his brothers, otherwise you're cooked.

What's your gear and inventory (skillers, Anni, charms, etc)?
I prefer Enigma for quick teleporting away from danger over other armors. If you rely only on running you can be easily surrounded and killed by bosses minions.

I know a lot of people use Enigma's to jump walls and avoid direct conflict but I find the

Matron's Den one of the most fun runs in the game, and I've had high run drops including a

Jah doing it. I've done hundreds of Ubers and I've used an Enigma for maybe a dozen or so of them, and then quit. Killing

Uber Duriel takes only seconds,

Izual in the

Furnace of Pain maybe a minute,

Lilith in the

Matron's Den 1 to 4 minutes, and

Uber Tristram no more than 2 to 4 minutes. So you don't need an Enigma to get started, but you do need to be able to kill everything and survive and that's the

Key to success.
