Compel and transfix are both cast on the same roll so why does he even have transfix when compel does the exact same thing except you also get to move him?

Also, does anyone else think he is overpriced compared to other wraiths because his special rules are the worst of all and he still needs higher rolls to cast spells.

Yeah, I also think he's overpriced. 10pts more than a normal Nazgul and you increase the chance of shooting a model by 2.8% (for Defence 5 and 6).

Well if his spells would be same as the regular Nazgyl have then he would pay off in a manner, although his special rules which ables to re-roll wounding on 2 and 1 rather than 1 is a pretty strong argument, still I too do think that he is not worth it...

I understand why Knight of Umbar and Khamul have "difficulties" with casting magic but Betreyer c´mon...

Might just be another typo from GW (pretty common in WD).
