What are the disadvantages of making the scout your prophet? That's what I usually do, and I'm curious if there's a reason I shouldn't.

You might have seen all the other bonuses a prophet gets? For instance greater health and MR etc. all based on dominion.
So if you can recruit a "thuggable" commanders you can make him even better. He also "carries" with him dominion into enemy land making him an ideal conquerer.
