Gaints, Sanity, And the myoptic beast who wants to kill you.

I want to start this off with, I don't care about the health values that much. Though health on giants should scale depending on players in-game/nearby, thats not the big issue here, nay the issue here is 
Kiting giants
Now Bearger, and Goose/Goose, are pushovers, as a Wigfrid main I gobble them up wiith little help from neutral mobs the dragonfly is easy with the help of a couple players/beefies. Nay though, as the title suggests I don't have gripes with them, its the deerclops. Mainly his ungodly sanity drain. I understand he was added during the time where sanity was the hip new and cool thing to utterly ruin your life with, but deerbutt's crap is simply ludicrous.
 With a sanity drain of -400/min when in combat with him, You simply cannot stay sane. I was practicing giants earlier and found that a Wigfrid actively fighting him with a top hat on still causes my sanity to drain within SECONDS From 120 to 0. Sure her sanity is low, extremely low in fact, but the fact she gains sanity from hitting enemies should make up for that, with a top hat on for goodness sake! Its extremely hard, if not impossible to kite deerclops without getting FUBAR, or maybe I just don't know how. I mean you can sick neutral mobs like pigs or beefs on him, before they're frozen and killed en masse. I don't know why they chose to make the giants of fall and spring so easy while the giant of winter is seemingly sundowner tier.

Am I doing something wrong?
Is he just to be avoided?
I don't understand!
