Rune Mages: So ridiculous...

I used to split stacks of Inquisitors as well to take advantage of Holy Rage in order to spam Dragon abilities early on for AP. I also split Beholders to get more enemy units stunned. I'm sure there are other instances where splitting is optimal (basically to take advantage of abilities that don't scale with leadership). For instance I'm considering splitting Warrior Maidens since their Call of Vahalla ability seems to scale a little too well (Unit-based rather than HP-based) when it comes to ressing Lvl 4 creatures.
