I would need a lot of help to support this, but I recently noticed that dizzy creatures tend not to use special attacks. Because their use is random it is difficult to tell, but this might be something to look in to.

If that is true...then there is a good reason to do that. The giant kimo spits out a nasty poison, if dizzy and they are unable to do that...i think that would be a good use

"but I recently noticed that dizzy creatures tend not to use special attacks."
Sweet. That's definitely something I'll be keeping an eye on.

Don't forget also, stun the hit for less, blind they hit less often.

Actually, intimidate makes them hit for less, although i dont think its supposed to.Stun just "Affects defence" and blind "Affects offence and defence" ... I got that from the holocron, its the closest explanation i have found thus far. Frankly im convinced they dont do anything at all.

To my knowledge this is how each works.
Intimidate reduces attack power (amount of damage one takes)
Stun reduces attack speed (how often the attack roll is implemented)
Blind reduces attack accuracy (lowers amount of successful hits)

That is my understanding as well.

when you hold your mouse over an enemies stun state icon you get a tool tip message to the effect that "Stun causes enemies to miss a combat round and lowers some stats". Im not sure which ones, perhaps i should get stunned and open my char sheet to see which of my stats are lower (usually hard to remember to do when your trying to get out of line of sight of rifleman that put the stun on you 
).
).

I bet you it shows nothing. Not to mention that its probably different for creatures

In the FAQ sheet it gives the range for areatrack as a max of 500 meters. Does that mean 500 meters away from the player(1000 meter radius) or 250 meters away(500 meter radius)? This might sound ike a dumb question but it doesn't say if the distance is radial or straight line.

The radius for areatrack (at Master) is 500m for a 1000m diameter .
