Are there situations in which you want a devil? Sure. But you usually want an archon. I forced myself to use ice devils most of the time, just because running around with archons all the time didn't feel right, but I felt much safer when I had a transplendant sitting beside me.

Aside from making it harder to surprise you, that makes the class a LOT more fun to play. Sleeping for mana sucks. And I won't even begin to go into tactics with evoke... Minalcar and Ingvar, among others, can tell you about how much fun that can be.
