In our games HP have to be declared before the dice roll. That is a house rule and it works quite well for us. It changes the HP away from being a "Get out of Death Free" token.

This depends on what he is fighting. Have a zorak zorani berserk show up and watch them hack each other to death.
We have a berserk in our campaign (a Yinkini if you'd believe it) and he has never managed to soak up AP like that. He keeps doing things like charging a Lunar shield wall on his own. Or attacking a 20' demon with his claws while we were all deciding if we wanted to flee.
