dummy units

How to create a perfect dummy unit? What should it has, and what shouldn't and why?
/i've seen many posts in the spell resources threads mention that dummy units aren't so good, i was thinking: is this the reason why spells don't get approved? :O/

a dummy unit is used to cast buff or spell u trigger but want to hide from the player...to create it u just mod a unit to have that ability and give it a model file of none.mdl to hide the unit from the player...

hero. hide hero icon (the one at top left). hide minimap display. hide hero death message. 1000000 mana and 1000000 mana regen. 0 sight range (day n night). locust ability. no food cost. invisible in the minimap. uses no model ("none.mdl")
1000000 movement speed. no attack. 4.00 turn rate. scaling value of 1 (so projectiles from spells like storm bolt casted by the unit appear at normal size. although u can just modify the dummy's size in the trigger that uses it).
