I think this is how Enderman should get its overhaul:
We have our normal maxed Enderman, with a Iron Chestplate as armor, and 11.5 damage Wood Sword. This we'll call for now Work Mode.
In Defense mode, we have our Enderman in full projectile protection V chain armor, and a Knockback X Diamond sword. (Diamond swords have a base damage of 7. Versus a fully upgraded Work Mode Enderman's 11.5 damage.)
In this mode, the Enderman may not Teleport or Repair the portal, but may Teleport back to the portal using the Red Dye. In this mode, the Enderman can control the Guardians. But the Guardians will still be there when an Enderman is in Work mode, they just wont be controllable.
To change modes, Right click the Item next to the Ender Pearl. If the Enderman is in Work mode, the Icon will be a Sugar or Iron Pickaxe. If in Defense mode, the Icon will be an Iron Chestplate.
One thing I've considered for Work mode Enderman, is a stare attack to give Blindness and Weakness II for 10 seconds.
