I'm sure the unit has great potential, I'm just not sure how best to use him.

As I said, I haven't played much C'tis, but I've had success with Empoisoners when they cast Decay and the other offensive Death 1 spells rather than summons.

Empoisoners. There are three levels of power for them.

Level 1: Weak Commander, Weak Mage
-Requires to continuously cast Summon Skeleton

Level 2: Strong Commander, Strong Mage
-Requires a single nature gem per assassination and scripted to cast Summon Swarm

Level 3: Weak Commander + Weak Guards, Weak Mage + Weak Guards
-Requires a Skull Staff to cast Raise Skeletons

The only way to kill something stronger than these situations is to get fully-equipped assassins (Construction 6) with a heroic ability (HP or Protection are best)

Yeah, but assassinations are kinda random. What do you do if a province contains a mixture of these types, and you have no idea what victim you're going to draw in advance?

Equip your assassin with a skull staff and hope for the best.

Anybody have any advice for playing with the miasma domain? I do OK playing with the base domain, but I seem to have trouble with miasma -- it's hard when all those nice sages die of horrible diseases.

I prefer Miasma to Base C'tis for the most part. Especially the mages. What exactly are you looking for advise? How to effectively play against who?

Yeah, Miasma is a little limiting, since any unit that is not undead, lifeless, or cold-blooded will die horribly of nasty diseases. Maybe you can cast Twiceborn on your indy mages, so when they bite it they'll come back as Wight Mages or Lichcraft(how DOES that spell work?) and be immune. Not to mention no longer require upkeep.
