Merc Question

I was playing with a friend the other day who rushed one of my chars all the way to act 2 NM. My char was only lvl 22 but I grabbed a HF merc so that I could start leveling him up.

I fired up a normal game and my merc was dying all over the place. I checked his stats and noticed his life was only 42? By this time I was lvl 24 and went back to act 2 in normal and noticed the life of the lvl 24 mercs there were well over 150. I went back to NM to double check the act 2 mercs there and their life was only in the 90s.

This leads to my questions:

Is the HF merc that much better than the other mercs(specifically for a sorc), and is there an optimal level that my character should be before hiring one?
