If something needs to be slowed ASAP then the wife will malo then spam slow as fast as possible...sometimes even alternating between the 51 and 39 slow. Malosini doesn't see much use in such situations; if it does it's typically only after the target's already slowed and things have settled down. I can think of no situation we've encountered in the past 4+ years at level 60 where malosini after malo but before slow would've been the preferred way of doing things. I agree with Brutus and Troxx fully in this case.
EDIT: As a Shadow Knight I use low-level spells quite often and I've never noticed any difference in resist rate between level 9 spells and level 55+ spells. Siphon Strength lands just as often as Cascading Darkness or Shroud of Pain. If there's a difference it can't be much. The only spells where I notice a difference in success rates are those with known resist modifiers (lifetaps, heat blood, etc).
Second edit: My own private testing suggests that agility does actually have some small effect, just not enough to be worth gearing for. I consistently need slightly less average healing per minute with Avatar on than without it. Someone who gears for agility in favor of raw AC is flat-out wrong, though, as are all those people who keep repeating outdated notions of broken AC here.
