First of all, I think you should scrap the whole 'block taking' ability altogether, and instead, add a 'block replacing' and a 'block placing' ability.
Block Replacing: They will be able to replace any natural occuring block with it's 'opposing block'. What I mean is, Sand > Gravel, Grass > Dirt, Logs > Stone, Cobble > Planks.
Block Placing: This is the ability where they can place formations of blocks around the area. Now, they can sometimes place glowstone letters around the place. These letters would be either: E,N,D,R or M. They would be written in netheraak.
The next thing they could do would be to place a lever on the floor. When pressed, could either 'cause an instant explosion which deals 5 hearts of damage, or award you with a random item.
Finally, they could rarely place a mixture of tnt and lava. It would only be one block of each, and would only happen when chasing you.
Now, when an Endermen is in close vaccinity of you, it will start to play the current song, except slowed down, backwards, and an octave or two lower.
Also, when in close vaccinity, they have a chance of making your screen purple and swirly like when entering the nether, with a picture of their face and a blood curdling scream.
Also, these buggers will have 85 hearts of health, that's 17 hits with a diamond sword! They will also deal 3 hearts of damage upon contact.
Finally, everybody says that their attack isn't fitting, so maybe they can have a kind of Telekenisis attack. They could hurl surrounding blocks at you, or mess with your mind and make you walk around in random directions, jump off cliffs, and run you into blocks, causing some damage.
