The auras will work together. Making an iron golem out of something that gives an aura isn't (IMHO) worth it, since if you lose the iron golem (fairly easy to do), you lose the rare item/runes.
Even worse than what is in that screenshot is a paladin. Wear some bramble armor (thorns) and use the charges of spirit of barbs (unless you have a Nature's Peace/Wisp Projector to get a different spirit). Equip the Azurewrath Phase Blade to get the pretty sparkles from Sanctuary. Get an exile shield (defiance). Put on a Metal Grid amulet to give you charges of iron golem. Make the iron golem out of a beast weapon (fanat). Get any act 2 merc except Normal/Hell Defensive (you have defiance), Nightmare Defensive (you'll get Holy Freeze from him anyway), or a Nightmare Combat (you have thorns). Equip him with a Doom polearm (Hand of Justice can be substituted to get holy fire instead). Activate any aura not mentioned, like Meditation or Salvation. And, for the double whammy, put a Call to Arms runeword weapon on the switch (Battle Orders, Battle Command). That is a total of 8 auras, 1 spirit, and 2 war cries, for a total of 9 different effects that are on everyone, and 1 effect on just you and 1 on the mercenary.. Now, if only there was 1 more armor and helm with an aura to put on the merc. :)
