I'm not sure dealing damage every 3-4 turns is worth an entire slot in an army.

That's why I wrote you have to whittle down the stack you're attacking in the first round, so it deals only some measly damage on the counter-attack. In the second round you use you AoE skill, and in the third round most stacks should be safe to attack.
My blackies get to attack almost every round. Only rarely I don't engage any stack in the first round if it's not whittled down to a safe level (btw you can attack even a very powerful stack by casting ice wall in front of it and hit it as an effectively second stack in a row).
And as the guy above me wrote, the fly'n'fire ability now crits as well and I always manage to crit at least 2 stacks. So a fight against huge all-plant army with high morale black dragons and greasy mist is hilarious beyond words
As I said, black dragons are not the typical bum-rush and bash unit like berserkers or demons. They need some finesse but with the right tactics and planning they can dps monster anything.
