Even I attack nearly every TH8 I find in Crystal (I'm TH8), because I know that it's pretty much a guaranteed win unless I really stuff up my attack...
My own base, not quite maxed TH8, is designed to just protect some loot, and prevent a 3-star loss; ideally, a 1-star loss is all good by me. Occasionally, I get a win, but unfortunately sometimes the raider isn't even compentent enough to get 40%, so the next raider gets to attack me without clan castle troops or traps in place.
Focus on how to win trophies through good raiding, would be my advice, and just tweak your base design as you go along.
