After reading this topic many days ago, I decided to give it a try.
Doesn't really work for me. The fact that the repair orb makes you wait before you can suck the glorious health from it is just getting me killed. I tried pre-planning and leaving orbs in a good retreat spot close by to the combat... but the damn things disappear after about 20 seconds.
Eh, I'm probably doing it wrong... but I'm a goin' back to stuff that makes sense to me.

Perhaps you are taking the orb 'sitting' too seriously_ What I mean by that is you should dance around the orb (dodging in close proximity) while firing on the opponent. You'll still get the heals, and you will be a harder target to hit. Also, try dropping the orbs moments before you initiate an engagement.
Yeah, that's what I tried: drop it just before I think I'll need it and dance around. Problem is, I keep getting blasted by weapons with splash damage AND a lot of times the enemy destroys my orb before it does me any good. Occasionally it's worked OK when I use it quickly while running away, by tossing it up ahead of me into a safe spot... but that required the mech chasing me to be slower.
There's also the problem with the delay between being able to use items...
