Most of the passive bonuses are intended to be part of the active effect. The passive for both Human and Cougar Q for instance only work with AP/hybrid Nidalee and aren't intended to make her take more risk in combat but also get more reward out of it because primal surge's attackspeed buff actually has a significant effect on AP Nidalee's dps at this point.

Something I was thinking of though is having her innate passive decay faster or lose stacks when taking damage.

As for traps passive, I think the shred could be removed entirely but it still probably needs something to replace it. If you have any ideas feel free to share.
