It's the automatic damage that seems strong.
For Tiamat's Vengeance, I see it as a great way for a BBEG with Reach to abuse minions... but maybe that's the point.

Exactly, imagine a dude with an area melee attack -- they're hardly rare. Also, I kinda like the idea of a poison laser cleric. Maybe something like: "as a Minor action, choose one target you just hit; that target suffers ongoing 4 / 8 / 12 poison damage (save ends)".
