Yes, the same thought occurred to me, unfortunately the regen turns out to be a critical factor. Depending on the race's PD when surrounded the Sidhe Lords do generally take a hit or two every other round or so and they've only got 15 hitpoints so it ends up being hit or miss when attacking stronger PD and afflictions rack up relatively quickly. With the regen though, I've successfully hit well over a hundred PDs from Man, Abyssia, T'ien Ch'i, Atlantis, and Arco and not lost a single fight when there was just PD there. I did lose one to an indie cataphract charge though, watch out for those first strike lances!
