If u mean what is better 4% damage reduction or 80 armor(from pets), it is impossible to say right now. Until PVP comes out or the debs open up a bit on what calculations we'll never know
Actually it is possible to say right now. We've been given the calculations already. Unfortunately, it's only applicable to level 21, but it's still pretty darn useful info:
taking this further, here's a relevant chunk from a post I had made in the warrior forum:
So when comparing 4% damage reduction to 80 armor, the 4% damage reduction actually comes out ahead, since 80 armor comes up just short of 4%. But in the grand scheme of things, they are pretty close to equal.
Main: Grimtank (warrior)
Alts: Longfinger (sorcerer), Critsngiggles (rogue)
Ah yea I saw that original post but thought the ratio # was made up, not the real thing, but reading it again I see it is.
So even with 5/5 Durable 80 armor comes up just short of 4%. Cool to know. Now I may try to make an 'effective health' calculator to see what your effective health is based on health, dodge, and armor reduction
To be honest, my interpretation of carapace's input and my expirements conflict with the quote from wizard_mike above. I believe the % damage reductions from pets at least (haven't tested passives yet) is added to the % damage reduction based on armor. So, if your armor gives you 47% damage reduction and your pet gives 4 (shiloh), you'll have 51 overall, not 49.
The DR elixer is definitely calculated on the damage before being multiplied by the DR from armor (making it more like 7% DR on a well equiped tank)--so I guess passives could go either way. I'll test it next time rerolls are free
I think you mistook something in my post, because nothing I said conflicts with anything you just posted. Damage reduction from a pet is straight damage reduction. There's nothing to calculate there, just add it to your character's damage reduction (just as you stated). I'm not sure what lead you to think I was stating anything to the contrary.

Sorry, that post was the product of psoting in a hurry and from my phone, where I couldn't re-read all the posts and didn't have time to re-write it lol. I had assumed the damage reduction from the passive skill was straight DR similar to a pet, so 5 points would yield 5% reduction in total rather than 2% as you posted. However, since I haven't tested myself and I assume you have...then that must not be the case. That's sad, as I was planning on respeccing to include durable, but not for 2%.
From what I have read it equals out something like 21armor=1%DR.
This makes for building a tank based on armor iffy. As most stes gains as you upgrade is somewhere between 20-50 armor, meaning you get 1-2% DR every upgrade.
