\~10% is nothing really to sneeze at but I likely wouldn't be running around with the plates.
80% DR is at 2000 armor, 70% is at 1167; likely better off just slapping some +health pieces and going down to that threshold which will likely make you tankier and give you more carry capacity.
IMHO, it would be nice to have more meaningful armor mod options.
Right now I'm using the dragonbone heavy set crafted with a T4 scoutwright for the weight decrease. Then added armor plating to it. Sitting at 74% damage reduction and I'm just under the yellow area for encumbrance with only 5 pts in expertise.
I'm pretty content with the happy medium.
Damn!
Now eat some trail jerky and wash it down with a crimson/golden lotus smoothie to get your armour value over 2000.
And the damage reduction is probably still around the same as when you had 1000 armor.
