is volcano good against act bosses? im talking about Nm mefisto, nm baal, hell mef, hell baal, hell andy; how long would it take to kill them?

Volcano's listed damage isn't that great, but if you park a monster on top of the Volcano then that monster will get hit 5 times per second. Basically, figure out what your Volcano's listed damage is and multiply it by 5, and that's how much damage you'll deal to a single target (assuming you can get it to stay stationary).

Not a problem with a Bear summoned on top of them

Well, that's when it's the biggest problem, because the Bear has this nasty, nasty habit of knocking enemies back. It's a fine solution for Act Bosses, but for Superuniques or the random regular Unique, you're going to need something else.

My Volcano Druid actually usually ran with 3 Dire Wolves instead of a Grizzly, just because they didn't knock monsters off of the Killspot.

Agreed. I just took "boss killer" to mean act bosses

is it really viable? my 20 lvl volcano with 2 synergies almost maxed and about +3 skills has a real problems with any NM boss (with the exception of andy), i use also lower resisist wand

does it benefit greatly from +skills? how many should i have to make it viable vs act bosses?
