120K HP is enough to withstand 1 full hit by a level 12 Trident Fury or 1 full hit by a dual or tri Aphids (a quad Aphid full hit will result in a weapon blow off).

That's pretty much what I live with when I'm in my Carnage and that bot is even more fragile and slower when off Rush.

I think that the Orkan Doc works in even close range if you play it like a fragile close support bot (i.e., like a Carnage or Thunder/Rocket Golem). On the tester server (again level 12 weapons), I could take the Orkan Doc all the way to the red home beacons on almost every map.

Try using the Orkan Doc in true close support manner - by following behind heavier bots and always follow by hugging walls to avoid long range missile fire. If you do this, you'll find that the Orkan Doc will stay alive rather than be the focus of red plasma and missiles. Also, you'll find that retreating is the norm with this bot at close range - if you don't find yourself retreating all the time (to find another target or more advantageous fight) then you are doing it wrong.
