Aside from doing some damage and sucking up damage, most summonings aren't good for much else. Druids have the best summonings, pretty much. Stalkers (aka shambling mounds) last 8 hours, game time and have high resists (90% blunt, 50% slash, pierce, 100% fire). These resists allow them to survive much longer... and you can fire AE happily while they keep the enemy busy. Throw out a few spells like entangle, web, and send in the mounds... keeps things nicely busy while you AE nuke the area.
Elementals are also nice, again due to their duration. However, they are not as effective as the shambling mounds. Druid ones are best, as they get more hp than the mage ones. A druid summoned force of 4 stalkers and some elementals can last quite a long time and do some serious damage... just make sure the enemies focus upon the stalkers, not the elementals.
Ideally, you want a bard with war chant of sith around, for the resist, ac, and healing effects. Taking the time to have the bard heal the mounds back up to full health will allow you to use them for a long time, typically they'll last long enough to clear the entire map.
Both stalkers and the good bard songs are from HoW though.
