Dactyls...

[Vegreaper]

...are the only normal mobs in the game that can make my blood boil and are also pretty much the only mobs (boss or normal) which can actually make me lose significant amounts of experience. Could the balance patch possibly nerf their long distance OHKO attacks (maybe that circle AoE attack a bit too)? I swear, my friend and I tried to beat one in epic today and we died over 15 times total. We had to run past it in order to continue towards Hades

As another thought, what if the Dactyl were made into a hero monster, instead of just "special ordinary?" It would still need nerfing or else the combination with proposed hero buffs would be beastly, but with those same changes it would at least be a greater reward than the basically nothing you get for your effort now.
