Yes, it can work, but it's not generally a good idea as you're limited to which ports can be accessed as a self IP versus a virtual server IP. I'd look at the SNAT setting on the VS/routing if the pool is up, but no connections to the pool.
SOL8849: Configuring a virtual server to use the same IP address as a self IP
http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/8000/800/sol8849.html
It is possible to configure a virtual server destination IP address and a self IP to use the same IP address.
Important: If you configure the BIG-IP web server and a virtual server to use the same self IP address, the virtual server will take precedence and process connections to the address.
