This is similar to C'thun's (Was it only p2???) knockback. It is to prevent you from running directly through him, however unlike C'thuns proximity knockback KJ's does not deal any damage.
I have heard when dealing with adds this area that causes proximity knockback also counts as LoS on the adds themselves (to force caster movement). I am not pretty sure however this area does not LoS heals (not 100%).
