Stealth of any amount will help with number 1 and 2. Great for peeking around corners etc. to see the whole spawn and the mezzer(s) that are around.
Acrobatics even when it doesn't outright protect will reduce the duration if all else is equal.
Great deal of synergy between Hover/Flight and solid ranged defense (which is more or less a big DUH I would hope
).
