Sorry for offtop - have someone tested hoj+2xdragon act3 merc on tesladin?
The act 3 mercenary has neither any synegies for Holy Fire nor any levels in Fire Mastery, so a level 44 Holy Fire on an act 3 merc is going to pulse with a whopping 381-453 damage per pulse.

Holy Grail Death Count: 1
(I am running that combination of merc+gear with my dragondin. Get enchanted and go to town.)
On dragondin, I ended up going Last Wish on an act 5 merc for the Life Tap proc. Having Life Tap up in higher player count games keeps the dragondin alive where it wouldn't otherwise have enough leech (Thorns heralds or burly heralds in general). The budget option would be Dracul's Grasp and either an act 1 merc with Faith or a Mania merc cause that missing glove IAS has to come from somewhere to hit Zeal BP.
P1 the dragondin doesn't even need a merc or anything except Charge and inventory space to pick up loot.

A5 Merc with 2x Plague for proccing Lower Resist is a helpful addition on p1 to around p3. On higher p counts, i use to switch to Last Wish for the same reasons you stated

hmm tried outthe fire a3 fire with my dragondin confessor, not bad. 142 str at lvl 89, wears Chains of Honor, ethereal SpiritMonarch, SpiritDimensional Blade, and -15 Flickering Flame he borrows from my sorcs' stash. 2.7k dmg, 2.5 fireballs per second.
killed tz Duriel on his own (or maybe it was more from the aura ticks)?
maybe will switch to +15/+3 FireballOrmus' Robes in a few levels and socket it with an uber jewel.. if no other crazy idea comes in in the meantime
not even 3k+ dmg fireballs with -15 efr at a rate of 2.5 per second inside the Conviction radius will do anything? i mean it's approximately dmg output of my firezon..
..which gives me idea to resurrect the pally confessor who failed as a smiter, accompanied by an iron wolf again (iirc last time the idea failed miserably because the red guy got his ass kicked by heralds too hard)
maybe this time and with better gear it will work out better..
just not sure, fire or lightning.. why not try both and compare
Fire A3 is only usable for a summoner for Enchant.
If you want to have a companion for your pally, use a lightning A3 for Static Field.
AnywaA... If you like, you can run your A3 Merc. But what's the point compared to other mercs? Even a confessor with Conviction would benefit more from fana aura on A1, wouldn't he?
And regarding your firezon comparison: Your firezon has Pierce and a sunder and still sucks balls. "Almost half as strong as a firezon" is not a strong argument, is it?

I was recently exploring updates to my dragondin and considering the merits of Lower Resist from Plague because that is what I used to use. Couple takeaways: Non immune enemies are getting reduced to nothing with Conviction anyway (-150) so LR is doing nothing there. Immune enemies are getting broken with sunder but does Lower Resist not apply at a reduced effectiveness on sundered enemies? Something like -8 resist? So not nothing, but also not a whole lot. Anyway just food for thought.
