The damage caused by Power Within is negligible, especially when you the ability to simply heal yourself. It's not a matter of risk/reward, it's short-term gains. The only real risk of Power Within is it's not sustainable. In PvP sustainability is hardly ever a concern, as what matters is spike damage, and Power Within is all about spike damage. The only real counter to Power Within is to simply wait for it to expire, hoping it'll kill the user.

The other thing is that it doesn't anything close to a specialized build to use. You don't even have to have to upgrade your flame. No matter what build you made as long as you had 10 attunment (and it would be a very rare case you wouldn't) you can get the full benefits of Power Within.
