This is a long-running theme with dual-color mana givers. Kinda like Sulfurous Springs and the rest of that land cycle. It's 'I have one mana, but when i really need that one color..'

Paying life to tap for mana? Should have been both red and green mana at the same time or something.

For the times when you need it, one mana of the right color is worth WAY more than one life.
These Talismans look like something off a Rush album.

Why would the Talisman of Impulse tap for blue's enemy colors?

See Karplusan Forest.
It seems that 2-mana artifact is the equivalent of a land. Guardian Idol fits the same pattern, but is weaker than Mishra's Factory. This can probably be excused by the fact that the Factory is pretty damn strong.
