Crusty armor is fine - it's cheap and it gets the job done ... but it has fairly low ac compared to other plate alternatives that are likewise inexpensive.
So probably go more AC then for group tanking over Hp's? Blood Ember is fairly affordable. A Black Enameled BP is super cheap. Phased Spider Carapace is doable. Could even swap out the hand wraps for a FBSS and go BE gaunts for free snare. Might wait a bit and invest in some weight reducing bags first. That 60 or so base Str sucks [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

I guess unless I'm with a cleric getting Ch's it's more mana efficient just to take less damage.
