Why does Desert Tombs theme for C'Tis have to suck so much?

Probably because it's a death scale theme that makes use of living units. Since taking any death scale kills all of your people rapidly, you won't have any way to support those living units, and if you can't make a full conVersion to undead units, you're screwed.

Plus it costs 200 points.

Death scale 2 only kills 0,4% of the population every turn , and reduces some supplies

Its not so dangerous

I'd really like to use Desert Tombs, but I have no idea how to make it effective. Any Suggestions?

Not that I've really tried DT lately, but I'd imagine that you have to use the special summons as much as you can, and get your death gem production up as high as you can.

I can't even remember what the available living units are, but other than mages and priests I'd not bother much with the rest of them after say turn 20 (or whenever you convert to more of a summons based economy). Its not like the standard C'tis units are all that hot anyway, especially since you don't get the Dancers (do you?). Maybe you can use the slingers to better advantage though... bah, I can't remember what you get and don't get in DT anyway

*bump* Any more suggestions? I'd like to use C'tis so I can abuse Animate Archers and Fire Arrows spell.
