What I was saying is Disintegrate can't trigger the "or if you die" part without also triggering "reduced to 0 HP" because the spell *does* damage. It kills you by getting you to 0 HP. It's not like PWK where there's no damage component.
As for his tweat, that's exactly the kind of thing I said they'd probably state as an intention. Hence the word "intent." What I was saying (and still do) is as written the druid turns to dust.
