Spirits Within is a 300 potency attack at 100% HP, doesn't matter if you have 100 HP or 22,500, it will ONLY do 300 potency. The damage will vary based on your *drum roll*.... STR!!

Other than that, it's personal preference. I personally CHOOSE the path of pushing more DPS when applicable over sitting with over 22k HP where I never drop below 50% due to meager damage and excessive overhealing.
