Zeta palps lead and run him with a fast Vader. Vader will use force crush followed by culling blade which will give your team a huge turn meter boost at the start of the encounter.
Is it that good? i run vader palp and thrawn and only use palp lead in arena
His lead is very good since the rework. It gives 5% TM to any sith/empire toon under your control whenever a debuff expires. So like the guy above me said, if you use force crush and then culling you’ll give your entire squad a TM boost as well. Make sure to level up Vader’s “No Escape” to get maximum bonus speed for each fight. ZPalp lead, Vader and Thrawn are a very nice combo to start with. I run that team with Nihilus and GK until I can get my Sion arena ready.

If you use him as lead in arena his leader skill is very good. It depends on what you want to do though really. If it's arena, Palps' lead. It's not very useful elsewhere, territory war, but not really the sith raid.
Palp lead is far, far superior to Vader's for everything except rancor. The right Empire or sith squad gets very large amounts of TM gain under him, which will help much more than either the tmr reduction or extra DoTs from Vader lead. The bonus TM and/or health Regen on special ability use from Palp lead will keep them alive and fighting a lot more also.
