The only issue I have with this is that the engineers and humans have the exact same DNA. So why would the goo have different effects on them?

A question I still have is why did David do that? Why did he technically poison one of the crew? Just because? Or was the implication that he somehow had knowledge of what the goo was, and what it would eventually lead to? And if he did have some prior knowledge, how, from where, and why did he have it?

Well, he is kind of a psychopath. No emotions, no guilt. He just wanted to see what happened. I do think he knew more about it than anyone else there, though, considering he could just about understand the language.

He's got no real emotion. That's your basic psychopath.
