fire breathing is basically explosion that damages based on the monsters remaining hp. A beefed up explosion really... if the delay was gone and it was used you could die anyway.
I suppose that it could have a range/los check instead but then it would almost be pointless for monsters to even have it because you can see/hear it coming and avoid it, making it pointless 90% of the time.
Maybe if you couldn't tell it was coming, which would bring us back to the same issue really... but if it was just changed to do a range/los check I could see it becoming much easier to hunt things that used it.
Seriously though, I don't like it having a delay really but right now it is just an explosion, so if they target you with it and you are in their los then it will hit you. Just like how you cant los an explosion if someone casts it on you :p
