How does health link work, exactly?

Question

I'm kind of confused by this mod on elite enemies. Is it supposed to make it harder to kill each one individually? If so, how does it work?

Answer

The Health-Link description taken from here says:

This trait is for champion monsters only and it activates only if more than one champion is present. Health Link reduces the amount of damage taken by the champion with that trait by linking his HP to that of all other Health Link champions in the area.

This trait can occur only for monsters equal to or greater than level 51

In short, any damage one monster takes is divided between all monsters in the link, so providing X monsters with health link stay near each other, it takes X times as long to single-target dps a monster with Health Link than one without.

It should be noted that if monsters are far enough apart, their "link" isn't active, so you can dps them one at a time if you can separate the group
