So I'm assuming that I should prioritize AC over everything?

In general, yes.
It's less important pre-50ish since you'll hit the soft cap so easily, but aside from resists (and agility, if you want to count that) it's the only stat available to you that will actually reduce the amount of damage you take in a fight - stamina and HP only delay the inevitable. So in a group setting, as long as your healer isn't constantly overhealing due to you having a tiny amount of max HP to work with, it's more efficient to focus on AC.

That said, having more HP can really save your ass if the healer runs out of mana or shit just generally hits the fan. So you still need plenty of that too :P
In general, i'd say focusing on flat HP gear until 45 then switching to more AC and stamina gives the best quality of life.
