If you want to deal with those Ettins...if they're not shock immune then something like Orb Lightning will still do terrible things to them. Also a few mages spamming Fireball will fell them relatively quickly from the fatigue alone. Some blockers and then a handful of guys with Heroic Blades would do nicely as well.

Notice that all these options take far fewer gems than the actual Ettins.

Yeah, no fire or lightning resistance and sub-20mr leaves plenty of opportunities for kiling those ettins you're facing. They may look scary, but there's immediately a bunch of counters available. Ettins really feel like midgame SCs, where they can be very scary and a given opponent may not have a sufficient amount of research to attack all of its vulnerabilities, and its sheerk killing power can be used to greatest effect. So I don't think it's too bad where ettins are right now really, as it seems to be pretty much appropriate.
