Phasing is a crappy spell.  I thought that it would be usefull to use to
get out of a jam quickly.  I was in the caves and surrounded by a bunch
of lava guys.  I hit the phase spell and BAM...  i was transported about
3 squares away.  I died shortly after.  There is no controlling phasing.
Teleport, though, rules.  I find this spell usefull to lure groups of
monsters to their deaths.  Instead of fighting hordes of them you can
teleport in and get some to follow.  This is extremely usefull against
diablo.  I can actually kill all of the monsters in his room, and then
go after him.  Teleport is also extrodinary in multiplayer games.  It is
damn hard to kill a mage with teleport and a high level fireball.  He
can port around and wait for a chance to hit.  Pretty devastating.
