Is spot overrated or am I just playing him wrong?

So I recently duped my 7* Spot, was really excited, took him to R2, watched all the guides and videos from lagacy and karate Mike, but so far I’ve been underwhelmed.
My main issue is that in most/all tough endgame content (SOS type content, war, BGs) he takes a lot of block damage. I mean that first hit you have to take to gain your first spot, after which you start getting some higher block proficiency can do up to 2/3k damage. I mean in any fight where the opponent can crit through block or has some form of pierce/block pen he really suffers.
I know you can use his L1 to get the buff immunity debuff so that he will heal up thanks to willpower and recover that block damage, but if I’m trying to kill the opponent in any form of timely manner this is very much an afterthought.
I don’t know if there’s a trick to him or if I’m doing something badly wrong here, but essentially every “cycle” with him i can lose up to 5% of my health, for longer fights/quests this just means potion uses and for BGs it means haemorrhaging points (especially as for a R2, sig 20 most BG fights are 2/3 untouchable cycle affairs)
Any help is appreciated, is the answer just to R3 him or am I missing out on something crucial to his kit?

Now that health is weighted to be more important scoring wise he lack the same value he used to have as you’ll almost always need to sacrifice health through block damage to ramp him up quickly, and with block penetration stat focus on defenders that will add up
Sounds like all I can do is either rank him up or get him higher sig, which is a shame but it’s basically what I expected, sounds like he is just overrated then 🤷♂️
