HP........Percent chance to survive<br /> ------....------------------------<br /> -9........1%<br /> -8........1.99%<br /> -7........2.97%<br /> -6........3.94%<br /> -5........4.90%<br /> -4........5.85%<br /> -3........6.79%<br /> -2........7.73%<br /> -1........8.65%

I mean A CON pumped barbarian who hits its first negative HP, or a CON dumped Wizard who hits -9 HP as the same chance to stabilize

I think the UA variant goes in the right direction, using the Fortit save (thus adding CON in the mix) but the +1 for *TIME* is odd, I would rather say DC {15+1/negative HP}
And yes, you can use this variant even if you don't use the Vitality/Wound points system.
