		The bonuses to leadership can actually be quite useful, even if the +attack isn't.  Less need to back up your magi with mundane commanders.

		Hmm, 
 
I'll have to test more, but considering the Encumbrance penalty to fatigue when casting spells, I don't think thug/mage heroes are particularly efficient.

Script a few low level buffs, like ironskin or fireshield (or phoenix power!), and attack.  It can be brutal.

		Well, you could always carry one wip and three shields, which would be better than one whip and one shield. I think that four slots of any given type is always better than two. 
 
(actually, since you could leave two slots unused, it CANNOT be worse.)
