Bottom line highlights:

More armor will help you live longer!
Damage reduction is good!
I'm very much a math person and in PL I use math to figure out which gear is better. This will especially become important when we get to PvP. Sometimes you have to make a decision between armor vs. damage. For example, Ring "A" may grant 10 armor & Ring "B" may grant 5 damage. In PL we know what that means and can make a logical choice. For clearing mobs with AoE attacks, the 5 damage would be better, but for 1-on-1 battles the 10 armor is better. But here in AL I have no idea what those numbers mean and would just be guessing as to which one to get.
