The best tactic is not to use Pandemoniad. It nerfs your army Just take the formations as normal

I'm not so sure that's true. If you're doing warpflame and just spamming pinks and not doing any deathstars/ MC buffing, a 4+ inv is better than a 5+ rerolling 1s.

You are forgetting about cover. Since daemons can gtg all you have to do is get a 5+ cover and GTG and now you have 4+ cover rerolling 1s which is better then a flat 4+. If you're in a ruin then its 3+ cover rerolling 1s

That's true, but idk if I'd be going to ground with pinkies that I want to be throwing witchfires out.

Your heralds and MCs should be the ones primarily shooting witch fires since they have good BS. Also since Witchfires are WC inefficient you generally won't be shooting witch fires with every pink horrors

valid points daemonic incursion sounds better for a mono army

It is worth noting that if you do a Warpflame host as your core and do all Pinks, the Blue horrors split will not have the +1 invul and revert back to the re-rolling 1s.
Could be an interesting tactic to have the WFH & Herlards formation from the Pandemonium, but everything else separate. That way your MC's are still getting the re-roll 1s as are any units that get split. Could be good against armies that have lots of Ignores Cover
I'd still go with an Incursion though.
