The other thing that makes angels nice is that on some maps it can be handy to distract ranged units while letting heavy melee goons wander past unblocked so that you don't end up with too much pressure on a single blocker--it's easy to tank a lich or an oni but trying to tank both with a single unit can be a real headache. Angels excel at that role since you can just drop them in to split things up without much fancy micro.
