You're only factoring the initial heals that follow the burst hit. With 8k hp, a reasonable burst hit is roughly 6k and reduces you to 25% of max hp. Cure II gets you for 1.5k hp, or 18.75% of total hp. If you use IB, it's still going to take 3-4 big heals to top you off and, chances are, it's not going to be a perfectly divisible number of heals which means that it's going to be wasted healing that wouldn't have been wasted if you didn't use IB. If there is any overhealing in the process of topping you off, that's overhealing due to IB because you were getting those heals anyways.

As for high damage scenarios, there is no scenario in the game currently where the damage is both high enough and also survivable that using Inner Beast is a bad idea. Don't forget, 2000 is the minimum, this is what I get with just Maim and Storm's Eye. Either a crit or use of Berserk would give you a 3k heal and getting both is slightly more than 4k. Half your health in exchange for about 7% less healing? When could this possibly be a bad idea?
Your IB number is complete and utter bullshit, and it's what you base the entirety of your conclusion upon. Seriously. If you're getting 2k with just Maim/SE, your basic IB is hitting harder than my Berserked BB. The only way you're doing that much damage is if you're wearing so much damage gear that you've got a whopping 5.5-6k hp in full i90 equivalent.
