Druid Bug - Devour + Sacrifice doesn't work. It Should Based On The Skill Descriptions

Had my heart set on making a cool lich dragon. Going off of the skill descriptions everything pointed to devour + sacrifice being compatible. They are not.
--

Desired Functionality:
The idea was to consume my own minions in combination with Zealot's oath with increased life regeneration nodes to handle my characters survivability.
--

Skill Descriptions and Synergy:
Sacrifice: Use reviving minions in place of corpses 'BY YOUR SKILLS', this doesn't specify it must be a spell, so attacks such as devour SHOULD function.

Devour: Devour a 'CORPSE' or Cullable Enemy. The ability does not specify it must be an enemy corpse, only that a corpse in general is required. This is further reinforced later in the skill description: 'For each enemy OR CORPSE devoured'. Again clear delineation of the two target types.

Minions Used:
Skeletal Cleric
Also tried Skeletal Reavers in case it was just a cleric skill gem issue

Summary:
Either Devour has an incorrect skill description

OR

Devour is not functioning properly with sacrifice and reviving friendly minions
