Jeremy you might want to take a look here:

Theoretically you can attack diagnosing problems at varying levels of impact 
... theoretically.

Practically speaking you often need to run higher impact diagnostics otherwise 
Oracle support may tell you "sorry I did not see what I needed to see in what 
you provided".

My worst case experience we had multiple hangs over multiple times and gathered 
exactly what Oracle support asked for and they still could not help.

Tanel Poder however solved it almost right away ( but experts at his level not 
readily available all the time unfortunately ).

It did give me material for my Hotsos 2013 presentation "OS Truth, Little White 
Lies, and the Oracle Wait Interface" however.
