The answer is simple though: I'm personally very biased toward single human play. I don't have much difficulty twinking or blessing every 10+ minutes, but escort duty is something I'd find awkward without a (admittedly small) team. But you are entirely correct, Conviction is a wonderful neutral (aka non-partied) assist. Now that Holy Freeze does damage it isn't as good a (pure) neutral assist as before so having an assistive Paly around to smite champs and bosses senseless and convict everything for you to help your enchanted rushee kill even faster seems like a nice team tactic.
Team assistance is a really really big subject. Part of the reason I don't go there as much as it deserves is that I do not forsee having the satisfaction of testing out any theories or techniques I might come up with.
Besides which, I find it difficult to imagine that anything could beat having team mates gather mobs together and kill a couple for the "rushee" necro to use for CE mass slaughter. Such a plan ought to kill so fast that the real problem would be the pure logistic overheads for gathering herds and traveling between them.
