I'm talking E9 bless and four slaves so fatigue should be minimal. Advantage it that no gear is required for getting basic thug with luck, additional MR and astral shield.

I'm not sure I understand the part about leaving out the "change shape". What I did is enter combat as Skratti and scripted to four rounds of bufs and then change shape and then attack. When I look at the next turn the Skratti is in wolf form.

Prophet thugs take penalties outside your dominion which can be crippling, so I hate to rely on them. In the long run, I don't see a great advantage to a Skratti prophet thug over one with a Shroud. I guess you could put better armor on the prophet.

It has more HP and better defense and more regen so more survivable. You have a point about out of dominions penalties - just lost the said Skratti in one of my SP tests due to those
Buttom line I agree Herse is better choice.
