Actually, AC is meant to imply that the enemy, having struck the hero, is unable to penetrate his armor and inflict any sort of harm. When a Skeleton Captain is whiffing away at a Level 30 Warrior sporting 200 AC, it isn't that the Skeleton is missing everytime it swings, but rather that it cannot hit hard enough or skilled enough to get through the Warrior's plate armor.
Higher ToHit% is higher armor-piercing ability. How much damage you can inflict once the armor is compromised is another matter entirely.
