I just don't see it really being "worth it" to invest in most magic and magic research. It seems when I make a pretender with high magic skills, s/he spends most of the time researching, rarely getting to use them. And I find "in battle" most of the things they finally do cast to be not worth the effort.

This might be completely true. The neat thing about this game is that someone else might say the same thing but totally reversed. For some it might be all magic and why bother with a combat pretender. For someone else it might be all scales and why bother with any pretender at all. Its good that you asked because anything that seems useless you should definetly double-check. Same for anything that seems an automatic choice.
As far as Dominions goes, if its true for you then go with it. Its your best answer. Dont expect any general agreement on it. Dont be caught off guard if in a multiplayer game someone else is able to make just as good a use of the reverse situation.  I love this game.
