Well whenever I used Final Stand and actually die enough for me to get it, it usually means that I'll suck when I get to use it anyway so it never seems to work for me. Don't think I've been killed by someone using it though.

IMO, I think they should have given you 80hp instead of the 100 you normally get with 20 hp for Final/last stand depending on how well it works. If you get anywhere between 1-20 hit points left you enter last/final stand. If you have been hit with a point of damage worth 50hp and you have 34hp left then you are dead. No final/last stand. This way you still have the same amount of health as everyone else and you still get your perk/deathstreak.
