I think this is a good compromise, and I think it's especially clever with the flaw requirement. I think a d4 might be more appropriate and less overwhelming than a d6, both in terms of the penalty and the DC bonus. A Madness Cleric would have to wait until level 12 to get bonuses like that, whereas someone with this feat could be throwing around DC 22 entangles, hitting even level 2 rogues with 18 and 20 dexterity. (As compared to a DC 18, which is good but not unbeatable by a level-peer in their strong attribute) As a non-caster by nature, I can see why you might undervalue DC, but consider that in vanilla terms it takes a feat for every +1 you want to jack up your DC, and even then it's not universal it's restricted by school. -gm
