Strictly on the Armor vs Iron Skin : At higher levels you can have that Armor being applied to almost 1500 active health. 860 normal health via Max Vitality and Max Vigor; Quick Thinking+ Flow (Rage helps greatly) adds another 720 health with full energy bar or without Flow you have 360 energy health.

So 1260 Armor or 80% Damage mitigation over 1580 or 1220 health, depending on Flow. That is where Armor outclasses Iron Skin.

In the argument of recasting power for Iron skin protection....There is always Life-Strike for health refill. (Heck lazily Paralysis +Life Strike channel held for finisher animation will refill health for 12 power (most finishers register as 1 hit in regards to finisher animation and channeling efficiency.)
