I've only ever played on Normal, so that might be why I have to disagree. With a warrior, I've used different mass spells like bless, battle cry, haste, or stuff like slow or doom, which certainly don't require your intelligence to be high, do they? Striving to have 15 points of intelligence just to increase the duration of your spells by 1 was not even remotely a priority in my game as warrior. In fact, in my current game as paladin, I tend to avoid intelligence on level ups altogether.
Like I said, this difference of opinion probably stems from the difference in difficulty levels, but even on impossible I don't see why a warrior should invest in casting destructive spells (that require high intelligence) rather than utilizing order/distortion magic to boost his already formidable army (due to high leadership, attack and defense values).
