You're assuming Diamond Skin is additive rather than cumulative. I think diamond skin's damage reduction applies either before or after your armor reduction. If your armor reduces 60% of the damage, it means you only get 40% of the damage. If diamond skin reduces 18%, it means you're going to take 82% of the damage. However, 82% of 40% is 32.8%, so your added reduction is 7.2% and not 18%. In conclusion, your graph is valid if diamond skin is additive, but if its cumulative, then steel fiber is still better than diamond skin for 150 base armor, since it adds 15.9% reduction opposed to the 7.2% of diamond skin.

It actually makes no sense that it is additive, because if you have Aurora Helmet as a Frost, your base armor is 200, adding maxed steel fiber makes it 420 which translates into 81% damage reduction. Adding 18% on top of that would make you have 99% damage reduction against lasers. (I also don't know if steel fiber and aurora bonuses are cumulative or additive)
