Well... with those numbers I have no problems saying the minion has no penalty on his sacrificial parry... what's that btw ? I know sacrificial dodge, but not parry.

With dodge, if you succeed, you're hit by the attack instead of the person you defended, so it's not that good as a defensive strategy, unless you're very resistant to damage and the original target wasn't. Parry ? No idea.

About your idea of using feint on the teammate, what teammate ? maybe there is more than one, and are they really going to protect your intended target ?
Not sure it would work very well, and in the end, the intended target of your attack would have no penalty to his defenses at this point, so it might not even need help from a teammate.
