I find it most useful for tanking bosses. The damage is pretty poor, so I slot for recharge.
I use it as an distraction against EB's & normal bosses although, EB's dispatch the gang with 1 blow and some bosses do too but it's a good power, a life saver. If your thugs aggro 3 groups with 5 mobs in each.. mayhem, chaos!.
Went for the Recharge/Damage/Accuracy, maybe it was 3/2/1

Yep, same slotting (and purpose) as Phantom Army really (although far from being indestructible...).

I've only just picked this up, but my intention was to slot for recharge and accuracy. They are only an aggro magnet and they can't do that if they don't hit.
However, I've no idea what their base accuracy is and if they have pet level accuracy then I don't think slotting for accuracy would be necessary.
Hmm I went 3 Recharge, 2 Dmg, 1 Acc... I thought this power may be usefull in PvP 
unless there are alot of AoEs going...
My Thug/DM MM is lvl22 now, and mine is only slotted for recharge (3 Rechred)
I don't use ACC ont them, but have my enforcers slotted with 2 ToHitBuffs, the little guys seem to do a great job getting the aggro of a boss or EB. They seem to hit (accidently) :-), but mainly use them to keep the aggro away.
Conclusion : The boss never stands a chance when being flooded by these guys, he just doesn't know who to hit first.
The only disadvantage I noticed was when they attack a cot lt (can't remember the name, but these guys have invincible(FM/INV), so they just kept missing lol).

That would be the Behemoth Overlord... yeah, figured that would be a problem. You might also want to be careful of various other foes who uses PBAoE self-buffs, like Soul Drain or similar - there are a handful of such attack that allows the enemy to grow stronger the more foes he is facing.
Personally, I would probably slot 2/2/2 with dam, acc and recharge - just to avoid ED completely. 
I like it when the gang uses multiple gang wars against one opponent, there's so many of them that the opponent can't get anywhere!

Seconded.. liking the pun by the way, Miss Marvellous
Just picked up this power and im liking it apart from the obscene recharge time, though I understand why it has it.
Just wonder how people go abaout slotting this, do you go for the usualy 3 dam and 0-2 accuarcys or do you slot for recharge.
My intention was to slot for 3 dam and 3 recharge. Though Im not to sure about the damage as its pretty week to start with.
