Not really sure if it is realistically possible to test this without support from the dev team (being able to see the code and check their logs of the fight). The problem with AC as a raid tank is quite a few high end raid targets just don't care that much about it. That is why max HP is king. AoW is hitting you for 800 minimum iirc, so the margin for reduction is only 354 damage maximum per swing. When something is hitting you that hard, you might as well just assume bad luck and plan for always getting hit for the max damage.

A break in the CH chain is going to be much more detrimental than getting hit for an extra hundred damage or so per hit. If your raid is doing it's job, spot healers should be making up for that 354 damage anyway between CH's. That is why the CHA is nice, for that random divine intervention when the cheetos powder clogs one of your Cleric's CH macro.

Does the extra Iksar AC help? Of course it does, but the gains are probably quite small with the AC softcap. I doubt it is considerably better statistically than the extra CHA. You just get healed too much and too often for AC to matter that much. It is more a low probability luck save, like you happen to reduce an extra 100 damage 5 times in a row, and that happened to occur when a cleric was a bit slow on the chain, and you happened to have that extra 500 hp worth of gear to survive one more hit.
