I have also wondered if going for armor and def would be interesting as a priest. You can get the cloak of warding with an armor enchant, there's some trinkets with armor, and you could get the Band of Resolution from AD rep (18 stam and +5 def). You could also get some of the priest talents to reduce incoming spell and crit damage. Then there's the Ironweave set.
I never tried it myself, but whenever I have asked someone who pvp's with their priest, they seemed to think it would be a waste. They recommended going for stamina and more traditional priest stats instead. I can see the logic of why should you try to get damage mitigation when you can instead just heal yourself, and work on your offense instead. But I can't help thinking it would be interesting to play as a priest with the AC of a mail wearer and the stamina of a warlock!
