On Mimiron, I usually pop my army at the beginning of phase 2. They usually die to the first Heat Wave, but since you're not doing anything important while waiting for the boss to appear, it's purely a DPS gain. Although from this it seems like phase 4 would work as well, I'm often busy clearing up adds right up until he lands which means casting the army will lose you some DPS time.

Thanks... makes it easier than explaining 4 times after a wipe in Naxx. I made a macro of the link to this post to whisper to bad DKs when I am tanking a PuG.

On Mimiron the only time I would say to not call them is during phase 3, when you attack the head, due to tauntable adds that need to be kited/tanked. Oh, and during phase 1, 2 and 4 they might die to badly timed AoE of Mimiron. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Egladors last blog post..<a href="http://trizophenie.wordpress.com/2009/04/28/not-so-unbalanced-bear-tank-on-thorim/" rel="nofollow">Not so unbalanced bear tank on Thorim?</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> They should work all right on Thorim after the gauntlet, when you only fight him, although they might die to his forked lightning thingy… On Mimiron the only time I would say to not call them is during phase 3, when you attack the head, due to tauntable adds that need to be kited/tanked.
