Cyclone does work on champs but not on many huge mobs. If cyclone can't pull it then it can't interrupt it either. I have yet to do an exhaustive documentation but it seems to work on less things than kick does, for example the bloated parasite things. Certainly doesn't work on tree lurker things and I thought mallet lords were also a no go.
One thing to keep in mind about the ally skill is that it has zero cooldown and just 25 spirit. If you recast it while its alive it will summon next to you. I find the harder part is paying enough attention to recast it, but I bet witch doctors wish they could spam minions that cheaply with no cooldown. It also goes much better with deadly reach as you can keep kiting just behind it if you want it to tank.
