This is not damage prevention or redirection. It actually is life gain and newly dealt damage.

10/4/2004·wotc

You can't use Simulacrum on Loss of Life, just damage.

8/1/2008·wotc

Simulacrum is the source of the damage. If an effect needs to know a characteristic of the damage's source, it will see the damage coming from Simulacrum.
