I'm going 100% hammers on my pallies. New power weapon rules = my pallies surviving to I1 much more frequently, and I likewise bounce off 2+ save characters too often. I'll hit last, but by golly, I'll kill what I hit. Unless, of course, the unit has stormshields.
Apothecaries come into their own when a lot of models are benefitting (I.e. draigowing). Otherwise, save the points for elsewhere.
