Again, I know that's a bit of an over-simplification, but if intel heroes are the way to go, why bother with attack heroes?
It depends on the situation. First your always going to want a maxed out attack hero because that hero will train troops much faster than intel/attack mix hero. Intelligence is only important in my opinion, when you know you are going to win a battle, and you want to minimize losses. You can say defending, but that would man you would have to move out all of your high attack heroes because Highest attack hero defends.

But in most situations, attack is the way to go.
