Taed,
4 minions count as one monster for the purposes of monsters per room counting purposes, just like a normal encounter at low heroic.
So, your room had 3 monsters and no traps. He could have put as many traps in the room as there are places to put them (there are limitations on where the traps can be placed in the room). So, you could have been facing a lot worse.
Since you were on nightmare mode he could have had another monster in there too.
LA is a series of trade offs. Do I put the minions in, or do I use the brute instead? There are sets of monsters at each level and a DM has to chose one or the other.
The hell-hound handler is pure descriptive fluff. It's awesome your DM made one of the creatures he chose the hell-hound handler.
Thanks,
