Oh, I see what you’re saying. Blizzard did release a post though stating those torments would no longer spawn on boss floors. It’s over in the hotfix thread on the main page from December 11th.

Torghast, Tower of the Damned

• Resolved an issue where enemies afflicted with the Blinding Smoke Capsule debuff would engage in combat with the player if they got too close but not attack them.
• Minions of Torghast should be less likely to hit players with volley type abilities that they are not in combat with.
• Torments
  • Eye of Skoldus and Fracturing Forces no longer spawn assassins on boss floors.
  • Breath of Coldheart health bonus per stack lowered to 3% maximum health (was 5%).
