This trhead made me yearn for a wolf, so I made one. He just killed ancients in nm, and I am enjoying him immensely. (You don't know what you miss out by playing single player -- having a fana smiter by my side makes life a lot easier.)
One thing I noted about IM: Wolves DO require "strategical gameplay" unlike most my other characters. (I mostly play casters myself.) What I found working best was reverting to Feral Rage and taking out the knights only. At the moment (using full hwains) I can survive one-two IM-ed feral hits (effective leech ~ 50%). With fury, I don't stand a chance.
I am afraid that once I'm able to use Bonehew, even this option will be gone. (I decided to use Spirit of barbs, since I never used it before, and I always get hit anyways and I don't play HC -- and also since having a mate to play with also means that we DO kill each other a few times each day, although latelly it's him killing me sorely :(
Anyway, I hope this was a mildly-legible rant; against IM the best bet is not to get IM-ed, so kill them knights fast.
