Passive aggressive minions

Why don't GGG add more choises for making minions aggressive? Currently we have these 3 VERY BAD options:

1) Feeding frenzy is -25% damage for your main dps minions

2) Delve wand with Minions are aggressive modifier means you can't use 10-11 link weapons with the Squire in the late game

3) Unique helmet Maw of Mischief is a waste of a slot for a single line "Minions are aggressive", you also lose a +2 to all minion gems affix on a rare helmet (raising level of your minions is the best way to pump their damage and survivability)

I play permanent summon skeletons, these minions are VERY slow, but you can compensate this by making them aggressive - they start dashing to enemies! Very handy

But to get this modifier i need to either:
Lose helmet slot (skellies are squishy, losing +2 minion gems on a rare helmet is not only losing damage, but -15% effective hitpool too)
Lose 25% damage (by socketing useless Feeding frenzy gem)
Lose best-in-slot weapon choice for a late game (11-link)

What can be done:

1) Toggle skill to choose minion aggro type

2) Jewel set like Primordial ones, but for other minion types/for all minions

3) Make delve mod "Minions are aggresive" non-delve (craftable)

4) Buff Maw of Mizkif, so it can be usable in mid-high end gear

5) Buff Feeding frenzy gem (20% more minion damage for your single 2-link Carrion golem won't make a difference, but for my skellies it'll be essential)

6) Something else? Maybe people in the comments could give some hints

since you'we never played skeletons - it's ok, i'll be your minion guru, my newby friend - it'll take skeletons like 10 seconds to walk from one side of screen to another, so walking is not an option
Minion speed gem helps a lot, also mercenary with haste aura.
