Using the damage formula, the value of defense depends entirely on the strength of the attack. If you treat attack rating as 1 attack:1 damage (which isn't always true), then a defense rating equal to the enemy's attack rating provides an effective +200% HP.

For example an enemy has 100 attack rating. If you have 200 defense, your HP is +400% better. Incoming attacks would deal about 20 damage. If an enemy has 1000 attack, your defense is only worth an extra +40% health. Incoming attacks would deal around 700 damage.

Point per point, defense seems to be more effective than HP. Be sure to upgrade armors whenever possible.
