Pace what is said here Mistaya, going from 70 to 75 DR is deceptively huge: 16.7% less damage on all hits means that (unless I did my back of the napkin math wrong) assuming the warrior never gets crushed the druid will still take considerably less damage.
I realize this is very rehashed material, but just because the % doesn't go up much....
Btw, I'm actually shocked that druids are hitting the AC cap already (or getting close). I really thought that they wouldn't let that happen so soon...kinda lowers the utility of AH/Inspiration/impLoH, and that's a shame. Maybe later in BT that we haven't seen there's some stacking -ac buffs or something?
