2) I effectively reduces the life of all your minions by 1/3, since that's the point at which they explode (assuming they aren't taken from above 35% to zero in one hit). So the drawback is in the form of lower life, or at least less survivability of the minions.
I certainly think we'll be seeing some non-unstable minion builds around Necromantic Aegis, but it may be that the balance on the explosion damage isn't right yet and it's too powerful.
