how does power fencing change your first 2 statements in any fashion ?  
as I see it, it would make manual recovery even harder, as you couldn't 
even power up the failed system without first disconnecting it from the 
network

When I have used network fencing, I've left the admin ports live, that 
way, the operator can access the system console to find out WHY it is 
fubar, and put it in a proper state for recovery.   of course, this 
implies you have several LAN connections, which is always a good idea 
for a clustered system anyways.
