I got +5str +4dex -9con (and another -2 con from armor)
yet I havent needed more hp then I have. with vr3 I solo red x5 hp mobs in TOI (im lvl61+) (like solo angels = easy)
sure, if you got aggro from several mobs you will die fast.
in groups I never had any problems.

Get BW for when you wanna XP, and get DOOM for when you wanna pvp. Focus duals for both, or if you can afford, Focus duals for pve, and HP duals for pvp.
Some people will argue that +Dex -Con is good, but its really only a waste of HP as the extra damage you do through it is minimal.
Can't speak for others, but the +5 Dex overall increases intangibles like run speed, attack speed, accuracy, evade, crits, etc. Given that at B grade BW Heavy already reduces Dex as it is, it doesn't hurt to up your Dex in the short term to compensate, especially PVE. I hunt in regions crowded by bot/farmers, and the extra footspeed alone is worth having just to get to the next mob faster than they do! :)
At C grade you can get by with no dyes at all. Surprise, surprise. Park yourself on AI with a ton of heal pots and you'll see what I mean. C grade will come and go in a blink of an eye.
If the OP intends to PVP primarily, go with +CON, not just for the added HP, but the extra CP. You'll die anyway at your level, but at least you'll get off an extra dance or two before you go.
You can also bolster HP in other ways not limited to dyes, particularly through weapon SA's, like Health duals (spirit-spirit) and self-induced BTB from a mage weapon. At B grade you can opt for Doom Heavy to add more HP, if you like. If you are really into hardcore group PVP, I suggest going that route.
