I may consider switching to defense sets over speed on BB8 if I was running the above scenario too. It would be roughly a 2% increase in armor for him a 2.5% increase in resistance. over 20 attacks (only half of which hit), that adds up to 20-25% damage reduction. at 20k hits, that's basically an extra 4-5k health and basically another turn of living based on our estimated survivability.
Now if we stacked health instead we'd get an extra 25,270 X .15 = 3790 health.
Figuring 10 turns of dodges means we'll recover health equal to an additional 8% X 10 of that 3790 health or 80% of it besides that, but since 80% of our survivability is in our protection, we'll actually only get 20% of that back. So it ends up being worth an additional 3790 X 1.16 = 4396 or basically exactly the same as the defense set will be worth in the long run.
TLDR: Using either a health or defense set will give you roughly one extra turn of life with bb8.
