Discussion: game balance...

Looks to be worth it, but 225K would take most of my gold.

Yes. You've almost doubled your armor (for that piece), and added a bunch or additional damage reduction. Mostly you sacrificed the damage per hit (when they hit you), which would only ever be a bonus on armor that already meets your other needs. And... since that is when melee attackers hit you for 20K, they get a paltry slap on the wrist in return. You don't want to get hit. I think as a DH you want armor (5K), dex, resists, vitality, and more dex for dodge/crits/damage.

225K seems cheap for end game gear. I think you might also try to farm and sell more rares for non-DH's in Hell difficulty. Who knows, you might also find something useful.
