Hard Case Badge not making any progress

Do you have any accolades or set bonuses that boost your HP? You have to take enough damage to overcome the bonuses before the damage will count towards the badge. This could certainly be the problem with the Mercy fires, but I don't know about the other attempts you made.

Yes, that is exactly the problem! I didn't realize you had to get below the base HP. I very much apreciate the info! It's working now...anyone have any suggestions on how to make it go faster? lol
If you're a brute you can find a Rikti Chief Mezmerist, get up close in melee range to make him pull out his sword, hit rest in front of him and go to sleep
Or if you're a squishy, repeat the above process with a CoT Guide
Depends on your power sets, and how much +HP you have, but finding a single mob (or a couple of mobs) that you can get to attack you while you rest tends to work. Rest boosts your healing rate, but also decreases your resistance, making it so that the enemies do more damage to you, which you can then heal up immediately.

BAD advice.
They fixed him. Now he'll nail you with the bigass sword, take all your HP, and the one-hit code will keep you alive. Just like he used to.
Then he'll brawl you while you're still at one HP.

When I got the badge I used one of the DE rock minions.

Also - as long as the hit takes you below base HP, the whole hit counts

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
I am working on badges for taking points of damage. Right now I'm on the Hard Case badge (take 500,000 points of damage). I can't find anywhere on the forums that anyone else is having a problem, but my bar/hp counter is not moving at all. I have tried sitting in a fire in Mercy, PvP damage (which worked when I logged my other acct and hit my hero, but he's on the next badge up) and regular missions. I put my toon in a mission last night, taking damage, and let him sit there for over 8-1/2 hours and kicked my acct and logged on another computer this morning and the bar still hasn't moved. Anyone else having a problem here? I've sent multiple petitions and bug reports with no response...
