A 500+BB downswing in limit HE might not be a downswing. It might be a winrate.

That said... I have seen a good winning 30/60 HU guy tell me when he first started he spewed 400+BB right after turning pro.

The figure that I got of 200 was from Malmuth's Poker Essays Vol 2 (or maybe 1). In it he says a very good 3-6 player can survive with a $1200 roll. Certainly as you move up in stakes you are going to need a bigger roll to survive.
