As I understand, prime characters have 1 round lag ordering their followers. Everyone else has 2 round lag. So, necro primes order undead faster than anyone else - cleric primes order supps faster than anyone else - and druid primes order natures pets faster than anyone else. So, for undead pets, it should be the same lag time if you're necro class is 2nd or 4th.
I like Dr/Cl as well, it's very useful. I think you're right, necro vs mage in 3rd and 4th are a question of caps. You either want higher spelldamage cap or higher undead control cap. I don't think it matters much either way, but I'd lean to mage 3rd and necro 4th. Undead control won't matter much in groups, while spelldamage is useful almost always. Despite this advice, I would rather not play a quad caster. Losing the protect skill becomes so inconvenient that I find it much less fun.
