umm, if you don't script your casters, they use the same combat AI as the player AI..

I don't think so. Look at what happens when you attack a stack of holy mages with an army that contains undead. Badda bing! Lots and lots of banishments going off.
A human-played army would have to first go through its pre-scripted spells, regardless of the fact that many of them would be near-useless (certainly by comparison with Banishment), before finally settling down to kick some undead butt.
This seems to me to indicate that the AI has "more dynamic" AI, and it certainly isn't always a hindrance.
