Castle defense is really just a buffer between your troops inside and their troops outside. If you suddenly increase the numbers of troops you have inside you can gain back so much defense that even if he brings in more troops to compensate you'll still get a few extra turns of him battering at your walls.

The optimal use is to cast the the spell with 20-30 gems and have it last 10-20 turns, or cast it a few turns before you get attacked.
