I think deathy is a good buy, but a bit expensive and eats up a whole slot.

in comparison to other lictors though, he is not much more expensive points wise, and though the lower save does suck, how often have you made your 5+ in cc with a lictor anyway? for me, not often. they appear, they pop their target, and if they are still alive then they pick a fight or harass something else. Death leapers survivability is hindered a bit, but overall, lictors survivability blows to start with, so its not a huge loss. the extra attack does make a difference though, just not a huge one. he would still need to combine charge for maximum effectiveness. (IMO of course)
