Having more hp does provide warriors with a higher margin of safety so yes it helps. More is almost always better.

In the context of those earrings, however, the negative ac makes them less than ideal when soloing.

Hammered Golden Hoop is the correct choice at any level in any situation. At the high end you want 150 hp. At the low end you want 16 sta.

This is the answer on almost any class, even fire earring for wizards.

You're trading 40ish ac for 150 HP. That is one single hit from a mob in it's 40s. Once you take that one hit, you are getting no further benefit until the next fight. Conversely, 40ish ac is helping you out the entire fight. In solo situations you aren't really using the 150 HP that much since you aren't getting CHed.

Nah when soloing I’ll take an option that doesn’t involve -30ac. Any other time? Sure thing. It isn’t like the choice is as simple as + or - the 150hp. There are alternatives that provide ac and hp or just hp without a negative ac component.

To each their own.

AC is terrible after level 30. What you think is AC is actually your melee skills getting better. If you really want to test AC turn your back to the mob and see how well you do.

AC is better than zero benefit. Once your HP is below the 150 you got from the earrings, Max HP is doing nothing for you in the rest of the fight in a solo situation. Combat Bind Wound doesn't work any more as far as I know. This is assuming you are even waiting to get to 100% HP before starting another fight. A lot of people will start the next fight at 90% HP or whatever they are comfortable with. Warriors don't have enough self heal to really risk healing themselves back to full HP mid fight. Unless you have evidence to suggest AC is not providing any damage reduction.

Warrior crippling blows start after you get blow 40%. Raising your HP allows greater control over dps while also allowing you to maintain that state for a longer time.
