I don't think he is only using Conjuration. Should be both Emission and Conjuration.
Even if Hisoka hadn't known what the specific BV command was, he's definitely intelligent enough to deduce the skill categories and drawbacks, then work forward from that. 
I'm intrigued now, what bothered you about dragon dive?
More like himself?
Killua knowing about it. It was stated as if it was something obvious too. He only learned about Nen when he went to the Heavens Arena with Gon so he couldn't have seen it before.
No offense but you sound like you just didn't like him losing. He didn't have his usual magician swag because he was the one being played this time.For me it was the Hisoka vs. Chrollo match. Not the after-death nen part, the fight itself.
It bothered me, only because it felt like there were several moments where Hisoka was able to counter the skills Chrollo had elected to use. Particularly with the use of Texture Surprise. Hisoka could have made himself appear like any random spectator while searching for Chrollo's location, throwing the other spectators off his trail/confusing them long enough to buy time. He could also have used texture surprise to give the spectators his features, revealing how strong or weak the black voice commands were in terms of being used as a honing method. Chrollo's spectator mob could have been made to turn on itself, attacking the wrong targets, and after Chrollo ran out of spectators- what then? If Hisoka had really wanted to agitate Chrollo, he could've taken Chrollo's stolen appearance- depending on how weak the honing lock for the command was, it might have sent the spectators against both 'Chrollos" (LOL.)
Even if Hisoka hadn't employed those uses, because the given commands were so simple, and had to be by nature for the range in which Black Voice was supposed to be working, Hisoka could have beaten it (and potentially ruined most of Chrollo's strategy in any number of ways) if he'd taken 2 seconds to create conditions for which simple commands are not sufficient- a thing he is perfectly suited to doing. Complicating things and creating distractions to confuse opponents is one of Hisoka's greatest strengths as a fighter- that mental capacity almost completely vanished from him, during this fight. I was not expecting the magician to be out to lunch.
I was also temporarily annoyed by Hisoka's bungee gum getting snapped without his input, until I remembered the same thing had happened to Machi when she tied one of her nen threads to Uvogin.
I know a lot of the setup for the succession arc started during the Hisoka vs Chrollo fight, and that to an extent Togashi couldn't drag the fight out for longer than 10 chapters, so he probably didn't write that fight the way he would have if that weren't an issue. I do wish that Hisoka had seemed a little more like himself during the match. That's all.
On the plus side, the boat ride has taken some really interesting twists and turns. We have a bunch of new characters to theorize about, and we might get to the real Dark Continent faster with Togashi writing at a different pace than attempting weekly serialization. Pariston vs. Ging is currently one of my most anticipated matchups, to say nothing of what Beyond has planned for the Zodiacs. I'm 50/50 on whether Kurapika's story line will go past the boat, or whether it will end with it. It may be that the Kurta clan had ancient connections to the DC, but Togashi is definitely finishing up at least part of his story line with the spiders right now. The succession contest and GB mechanics are interesting, but reading like a warm-up to the DC.
There is a lot to look forward to, so I'm not going to dwell on this one minor part of a truly amazing story.
Oh, it's the killua "plot hole" i thought it was about the dragon dive itself. Yeah, that was kinda sketchy by togashi. I mean, it would've been cool if killua saw the technique and felt like it was zeno's. I feel like you can do that since nen is so personal, but he even knew the name of the technique xD
Yes, but consider his match with Kastro. He determined the nature of the ability Kastro was using, as well as the mechanics, without causing significant risk to himself. To us, losing an arm would be a death blow or serious mutilation. To Hisoka... it's just a flesh wound, as long as he's got the cash on hand and someone like Machi around who can fix it. It is part of why he's willing to take those risks. Risking death was an overconfidence thing, something Hisoka admitted after the match was done. Fair ball.
I don't know about that. Chrollo isn't like Kastro, he is much better, smarter and his ability is more versatile. Chrollo also prepared everything specifically to counter Hisoka. The place, the abilities etc.
I don't think the progress of the fight got butchered because of the DC setup, he took a lot of chapters to represent the fight.
So what is "normal fight progression" for you?? Hisoka figures out everything and kills everything??
They're letting us dream.

The fight against Castro was in fact incredibly close as they mentioned afterwards.For me it was the Hisoka vs. Chrollo match. Not the after-death nen part, the fight itself.

How does it work? Killua didn't know Nen. Describing it to him or drawing it would be telling him that it exists.
As a child Kilua was able to create afterimages of himself by some kind of stepping pattern. My guess is he would have believed it, when they told him , they would explained it when he is older.
I assume you reached it already since you were at 78, but:
