15% increase in DR? This becomes a serious stacking question right out of the gate. If it's 15% effective DR, then his actual DR increase is 3% (Guard #1). If the increase is 15% to his actual, base DR, then the effective increase is 75% and is spec-fucking-tacular (Guard #2).

Anyways, given those numbers *and* ignoring health potions/burst damage:

DR Guard #1 is taking: 17 DPS
DR Guard #2 is taking: 5 DPS
Aor Guard is taking: 7 - 4 DPS (Depending on if it's 20 or 25%)


Bumping this up to 1000 DPS (to display some key differences in scaling):

DR Guard #1 is taking: 170 DPS
DR Guard #2 is taking: 50 DPS
AoR guard is taking: 187-184 DPS

Given that I don't actually know much about the game except that 100DPS seems very low for the 4k hp range considering the damage L17'ish mobs already hit for sometimes, and that the game favors burst damage, I think the clear winner is the DR guard. Either one.

But I never actually looked up the skills in question or played a Guard, so.../shrug
