If you're bitten by a Deathwalker roll and you have USB, it's true that you don't lose full activations. However, you lose a critical piece of your army, and I think that weighs more than a lost turn or two
Yes, that's what I was trying to say here:

You said it more clearly, though, thanks.

As I briefly mentioned in the nominating post, I have not found the double-hero army to be the most successful. Deathwalkers are expensive - two Deathwalkers and Zettian Infantry doesn't leave you many points for other support.
