I agree with the basic premise that magic should be able to provide defense, so it's not unreasonable for a bikini and a tiara to give the same defense as a full set of plate, but I wouldn't like to see the game balance skewed towards mages. The whole idea of a mage getting more firepower at the expense of less defense/health relative to the "tank" is what gives the game a lot of its replay potential.

That said, for a given class, the same defense could be available either way.
