That's quite brutal, indeed. A lot better than first strike. Reminiscent of Laccolith Grunt, but normally even better.
Damaging just the blocker has been done a few times: Assembled Alphas, Acolyte of the Inferno, Flameheart Werewolf, Inferno Elemental. (And there's also Goblin Swine-Rider for the more indiscriminate version.) Hitting the player has only been seen before on Assembled Alphas, I think, and that's got the "blocks or becomes blocked by" line. Makes this a bit reminiscent of Lone Wolf / Thorn Elemental.
