The first reply to this is a load of bull, he has no timer of the sorts. The real reason for you not being able to kill him is that he's most likely not meant to be killed, you just damage him down to about 5-10% and he "flees" by vanishing in his puff of smoke. It seems likely that at least half the people claiming to have killed him have actually just defeated him normally and he teleported away.

There is no advantage to actually killing him though, as he can drop loot when you defeat him normally as well.
