I'm not sure which build you're referring to, but if it's based on energy shield, then having high energy is a must. It's essentially a substitute for life.

FA starts at 30% and increases by 5% per level.
SA starts at 45% and increases by 6% per level.
CA starts at 45% and increases by 5% per level.
So...shiver armor does give the highest defense bonus, not that a slight defense boost matters though. I stopped putting a point in any of those when I realized how little they help. Sorcs are not meant to make use of defense.

I personally like to stand there to tank and trade hits...because I can.

I agree. Considering that monsters in Hell have high resistances, SF's damage is cut dramatically (unless you have an Infinity merc). I find that my main attack skill (whether it be blizz or FO) deals damage quicker than SF, thanks to cold mastery.
