They'd lose all their energy, and not actually heal you. Self damage would help you get into those higher DPS states. The highest damage was reached when between 20% and dead. Risky, but doable. I *really* hope some MMO delivers a class like this some day.
EQ2 almost has it. The berserker class there has a few AA paths you can take to turn into a real crit/haste machine when below 30% hp, but healers are lazy whack-a-mole machines and it never happens.
