Firebats are indeed channeled. Think Inferno from D2. And yes, the minions will be eaten by bosses. Oh, and with the passive Circle of Life, you can get your zombie dogs without having to have the skill, although then you do miss out on a passive, but it's something to think about. There is a limit to three dogs, regardless of how you got them. If you have all three from the active skill still alive, then one won't spawn from the passive. Plague of toads was difficult to aim, the rotten buggers, but I just had to start thinking of that more like charged bolt from D2 and it was ok. Of course, runing it to do the giant toad you probably won't have an issue with that. =)
Oh, and your dogs really enjoy running amok. I wouldn't think of them as defensive. Generally, you have one that seems to stay by your side unless things get too close, but the other two are out playing and getting into all sorts of messes. Fun though. =) Love the puppies.
A skill I had initially just overlooked until I actually played it in beta was Haunt. It's pretty and you can have more than one out at a time. =) Not just pretty, but effective as well especially with the dogs out.
