To be fair, I get the same 3k armor from Devotion Aura/Stoneskin totem that your pally does, so I would have 44k to your pally's 37k.

And my armor total wasn't so much for a straight armor comparison from class to class as to see by how much it would go up.

I assume this is some kind of subtle jest/hint from blizzard about standing around smacking the boss and praying for OOC procs?

Aethien giggles? I want to hear an audio clip of this.

In other news, Death Knight Death Strike now heals them for 20% of their health and Icebound Fortitude breaks stun and makes them immune to stun for the duration.
