Your math looks fine.
Poison (which kills healing effects outright until cleared). Phase increases incomming damage by 50%(?). Both of these situations would seem to strongly prefer a higher defense. The question is how common are they in nightmare?
Also, I refuse to believe the DPS from 8 monsters at those levels ("those levels" being the levels where you have 4k+ hp) would only be 100. Gut feeling guesses being what they are (utter crap), I still think that even in the teens a group of the right mobs would outpace that number. Those laser throwing floaty things do 15'ish a peice, on a conservative estimate, with my marksman at 44% DR.
I still think there's a lot of merit to plugging in bigger numbers for your base DPS and bursts and watching how the balance shifts.
