Do you mean whether their stats change while they're out? They definitely change, although it seemed to be to have some delay. i.e. if your haste changed, their cast time would change 2-3 casts later.

"Viable" is sort of a mushy word. If the fix to FoN casting allows it to scale fully with haste as we've been expecting, it will be much stronger than Incarnation.
