One unit I haven't seen mentioned yet is Wyverns - both 100% poison and lightning immune, albeit a tad bit overpriced IMO at 8 air gems.

Yup, another problem with them is if you're using Wrathful Skies you're probably using Storm (or Staff of -) as well.

True - but if you're wrathing, you probably don't want them flying up and getting chewed up in melee, they're more for Hold and Attack orders, to slow down the enemy troops while they're getting decimated by the lightning flurries.

I suspect that Wyverns are cost in-efficient by design. You can summon them at low levels, and they look to be parallelled by Fire Drakes and Cave Drakes (also low level, expensive summons). It may make sense to use these summonings in specific opening game instances, but probably none of these would be widely used from mid-game on.
It would seem to me that in mid-game/end-game (which we're surely talking about here, given it's Wrathful Skies that started this), that Vine Ogres combined with mass regeneration would give you better bang for the buck than Wyverns. I've experimented with Wyverns a bit in SP, and I found it pretty hard to keep them alive. Given the 8 gem cost, I've stayed away from them ever since.
