Malice life drain is at a rate of -5/256 life per frame. Even with setting it to -90/256 per frame this may not be much.
A level 56 NM Def merc should have a base life of 821 life (assuming no other +life gear). With their DamageRegen=4 this would give them a life recovery of +205/256 per frame. Adding these two together you would get +115/256 life per frame. So they probably are being effected, just not enough that you can easily see the effect on them considering their normal 'high' life recovery rate.
