While CoA was better vs casters and hybrids due to the resists and DR.

Crown of Ages is the go-to helm for a zealot against basically all opponents. Special cases can be made for sick eth, self repairing, fools mod rare helms with sockets against conc barbs and other Zealots with insane defense, but then you have to make up DR elsewhere-using a perfect eth upped shaftstop or a Stormshield perhaps.

In any other situation you can't beat the defense, stats and gear flexibility provided by using a Crown of Ages. Defense especially when facing a good Fury wolf that pushes 20k+ attack rating EASY. Gotta have everything going for you defensively to avoid their attacks.
