I have not tried using Absorb for that purpose because the mobs are usually too busy shooting each other to shoot at your allies/the cryopod/the artifact.

I only got Nyx recently, but her CC is SO GOOD. With all the right mods, her Chaos will have insane range and duration, basically removing all enemies from the fight for like 40 seconds. They tend to kill a lot of their own during this time too. Also, try Mind Control on Ancient Healers/Corrupted Ancients for free heals (who needs Trinity?) and a damage sponge. While using Nyx my damage done and kills in the post-mission stats are absolutely terrible, but that really does not matter, at all.

Honestly, Nyx is the #1 when it comes to CC. Better even than Vauban and Frost. If I were to put together a team for T3 Void Defense or a regular Endless Defense at a really high wave, I'd probably take Nyx for the CC, Saryn for the AoE (with Venom, not Miasma), and Banshee for her Sonar for single targets. The 4th person does not really matter that much, but I suppose Frost would still be nice as a second defense, just in case.
