Ironman
Ironman is a great trait to level up in--depending on what you want to do.
As a "standalone" trait (i.e., a trait to level up in just 'cause), Ironman is a great fill-in if you don't want to get other more "important" traits first. Ironman builds to Badass which builds to certain master builds.
This trait is also a great choice if you're really hurting in health, armor, and general resistances. Selecting Ironman won't give you "free health", it simply boosts your max HP by 10 points (and actually boosts your current HP by 10 also). Because damage is dealt by calculating how much HP you have and to an extent, the percentage of max HP you have, having a level or two in Ironman can really come in handy when the late-game enemies come out to play.
Ironman will make you practically immortal against the former human/sergeant group (especially so when paired with a good armor and decent weapon).
Last words of advice? Ironman is a great trait to level up in for a defensive build, or just a good trait to have after completing a Master build. I would recommend leveling up in more savory traits such as Reloader, Son of a Bitch, Finesse, and so on before selecting this trait.
