Mine is not impressive either, but he does kill hell meph, so he gets the job done I suppose.
Act 2 merc nm defensive (Holy Freeze)
Level 74
Ahsab
Boneflesh (Unique platemail, upped to templar coat)
Eth Partizan Obedience
Blackhorn's Face
He benefits my build by basically killing and feezing everything for me. His best use is to allow my barb to use his mf equipment on switch while he kills mephy.
This is on Hardcore Ladder East.

My favorite at the moment is my Meteorb Sorc's:
Haseen
level 93 Holy Freeze Merc
Guillaume's Face with 36%ed/7str jewel
eth glitched 'Treachery' Archon Plate (1111 def)
Reaper's Toll
2087 life before CtA BO (3506 after)
2857 defense
362-1830 damage before Venom (667-2155 after)
The only thing I'd improve (other than maybe changing his name to Waheed or Emilio) would be the weapon, but of all the Reaper's I've found this season none of them have been ethereal.
The benefits are many. The combination of Holy Freeze and quickly-casting Decrepify (due to the 45%ias from the armor) keep me extremely safe and allow him to tank just about anything (can't tank extra strong cursed fanatic Minions of Destruction, but who can?). The Fade from 'Treachery' (which almost always triggers by the time I hit the Throne, and essentially never runs out once it is cast) stacks his resists up to around 120% in hell and tacks on a little bit of %DR. The CB and DS combine to take out cold immune fire immune Lister pretty quickly and even helps take out Baal a little quicker (his CB kicks in where my damage lacks -- between the initial spamming of Static and the stacking of Meteors and Fire Balls shortly afterward). The life leech on the weapon is sufficient and the FHR on the helm and armor keep him from getting stun-locked.
ETHEREAL MERC FTW~

He is my mana/life reserve. Having him is like 20% extra life. And infinite mana.
The other one I use is an act 2 holyfreeeze with guillaumes face, upped rattlecage, and a 3 shael hone sundan. We crush our enemies in duett with my smiter.

This merc isn't done yet. He is a part of my aura Pally build. The only benifit I get from is the lvl 12 conviction and the blessed aim aura's. I like the Fort armor on him for the chilling armor,CB, Prevent Monster Heal, and all the bonus's to life. The helm was for the early stages of the build.(LL) Now that Pally can cast life tap, my merc can go to something diff. Maybey still keep some LL on the helm, but find other benifits for him. By himself, he's good, but with all my aura's going, he does around 15k damage, life is up there, and his defense is on the moon. He's a tank. I did a solo cow run to test him out. I went into the cow LVL and ran around and got surronded, then I stopped and went to work, and did very well.Didn't have to baby sit at all. I just ran an Urber run, and he did great, but I think I can get more from him by changing the helm. Gonna have to check on it.

Type of merc: Normal Prayer
Level of merc: 94
Name of merc: Mizan
Armor: Duriel's shell, upped, eth, pRuby
Helm: Blackhorn's face, upped, eth, pTopaz
Weapon: Insight Colossus Voulge, slvl17 medi, 256ed.
How your merc benefits to you build:
He kill's all the fire immunes that my sorc can't handle and replenishes Battle ordered mana and life pools.
Armor and helm are eth/socketed/upped just for looks and for the personal impression. It really looks complete to me even it's not even close to perfect.
The most important stats provided from the items:
Slows target by 20%
CBF
PMH
Meditation
Resists
The extra 15 str to be able to use CV insight
