I saw an earlier post that said black dragons can be resurrected by the shaman axes now, but I haven't tried that either.
I love the black dragons (I have a thing for dragons, ahem), but their healing limitations diminish their usefulness, especially in tough fights with bosses who use magic. And, of course, they are not that effective against demons who are less susceptible to fire. Instead, I've been using the Ice Dragons who conjure that cute little mini-me which the enemy units seem to target preferentially.

Shaman actually does still work (the healing axes) in Warrior of the North.
Pretty sure Shaman Magic Axe can NEVER resurrect black dragons (despite hearing a few times they could).
In Crossworlds, the rune mages there could revive black dragons directly.
Yeah, in boss fights they are terrible now. They used to be GREAT for solo stacks against heroes, but now, not so much since they can be targeted by a lot of spells.
Well, they do inflict a -1 penalty to the enemy initiative level 1-4 so they can still be somewhat useful against demons. Definately not ideal though. Yeah, every summon has higher target priority so that is no surprise the ice dragons are good for that purpose.
The mini dragons also have evasion which is really nice! The ice dragons can ALSO be healed via ice snake spell!
