After 3.25 Vaal Pact changes, please rebalance (buff) Mahuxotl's Machination

For context: in 3.25 Vaal Pact was changed to:

Life Leech from Melee Damage is Instant
Cannot Recover Life other than from Leech

In general, this drawback is too severe to be worthwhile for players to pick up, except maybe for some exceptional edge cases. Although I don't think its a great design, its not too much a concern as you can just not pickup the Keystone.

Unfortunately this change also strongly affects the Mahuxotl's Machination shield, and kind of wracks it. This shield used to be an incredible well thought out design, one of my favorite uniques in the game. But with this change to Vaal Pact it now has a major build in anti-synergy, which makes no sense. The Eternal Youth keystone's only advantage "Energy Shield Recharge instead applies to Life" is completely negated by Vaal Pact, so it only imposes a drawback "50% less maximum Total Life Recovery per Second from Leech".

So, now when you use Mahuxotl's you lose all forms of life recovery except for leech (and maybe instant flasks?), but to add insult to injury you also lose half your life leech.

To correct for the Vaal Pact change, two potential solution could be:
1) Change the drawback of Vaal Pact again, so that flasks work normally. Or maybe 50% Less Life Recovery.
2) Remove Vaal Pact from Mahuxotl's Machination (Simple: Less is often more).
