The only use I have ever seen with the Slayer is fighting Demi-Liches when there aren't any Spell Immunity scrolls around, and when I'm too lazy to charm a Mind Flayer to open one of their complex doors. Reputation loss though? Not really a big deal, considering you do a godly amount of quests in the game to make it rise anyway.
The Slayer itself really isn't the most powerful thing that you can turn into, but I guess if you add in a couple HLA's during the change, he would be half way decent.
I really don't think that you should die during a slayer change. I know that you have the essence of a god taking over you, but I don't see it as something that should kill you. Look at it like this, when you transform, you lose points of reputation, start losing control of your PC, and depending on how long you lasted, it'll cause damage to you afterwards. Too many penalties just to be killed in the end anyway. They should have made it where depending on how long you lasted, when you return to your normal form, there would be some kind of stat change. Considering having the essence of a god of death, it would tax your mind or your constitution and so forth, being temporary of course.
