I chose to stack AC and HP on my twink monk. Items like a Glowing Bone Collar and a Lockjaw Hide Vest are two examples of gear that I picked over popular and more expensive choices like a Runed Lava Pendant and a Syythrak Hide Vest. One reason is that I thought it might be more fun to have a twink with only mid-level gear. The other is that I wanted him to have high mitigation and survivability.
I keep strength and stamina potions in his inventory for added dps and hp, but I am unaware of any potions that can give you raw AC. This is the logic I used when I chose not to gear for dps. I don't think a twink should be geared for extremes, though, and a lot of his ac/hp gear does have strength on it. Diamondine Earrings are one example of how you can get a little bit of both.
