It seems totally logical that if a physical class can gain 100% damage from going from level 50 greens to 60 epics than cloth classes should gain 100% armor from the same upgrade.

Fireball damage at level 50 is 449. (average)
Fireball damage at level 60 is 638. (average)
At 60, if you are full blues and adding + spell damage, you can get +150 damage easily. So if geared up,
Fireball damage at level 60 is 788. (average)
Do you see a 100% increase in spell damage right there? Caster get the same kind of power increase as the melee-er. Physical attacks ignore armor, almost, on squishies. Just as spell attacks ignore armor, (not many people have full resists), for the melee-ers.
The main line of defense for both are essentially stamina. I will concede though that stamina increase does not match attack power increase for both types making first attack much more important.
