Defense and Crushing blows

"Higher defense makes your harder to hit and makes monsters less likely to land a crushing blow." - Skills Frame in WoW
We all know +defense gives .04 block/parry/dodge/mobmiss/-mobcrit, does it have the same effect on crushing blows?
And has anyone done a study on crushing blow % from mobs +1/+2/+3 levels?

(of course blocking stops a crushing too)

If a player's defense is lower than the maximum for that level, the crushing blow chance is increased. However, having extra defense past the cap for that level does not lower the crushing blow chance any further.

Did you research this before posting?
