One way I thought of to fix this, was to apply the rules for 50+ HP damage to 
_all_ wounds, instead of only to really big ones. Do away with a character's hit 
points altogether, but do roll for damage when they get hit. Then make them roll 
a Fortitude save against, say, (10+damage dealt) to see if they survive or not.

I guess it'd still break down with high-level characters, though, as the damage 
they deal out doesn't go up at the same rate as their Fortitude saves. (But if it 
did, there'd be no point in being high-level anyway...)
