i got my first set of armor as an runners set and i thought survival would be fine as my pve armor as well. then i start hearing about how high armor high health char get attacked less then there squishly counter parts. so is high health a bad thing if your the one that should be taking the damage?

No, high health is good, stay with survivor. I find that there is no difference, and if your back/midline are smart they should be able to stay out of aggro or kite once they're targeted if your party don't have too many passive defense. Passive defenses are better than a dedicated tank to take damage.

Most people will say use survivors or sentinel (if you play a str build). After that get a +30hp weapon and shield mod.

Think of it this way: If you deliberately run a lower health so the enemies target you, they'll kill you much quicker and then move straight on to your backline without resistance. High health = good.

I have 625 health, if I remember correctly, when I'm running survivor:
480 - base
+50 - sup vig rune (530)
+30/+30 - 2 fort mods, one on the weapon, one on the shield (590)
+35 - 4 survivor insignia (last is a stonefist) (625)
