I really think the zon is going to take this over in 1.10 if things stay like they are in the beta. Completely avoiding damage seems to be the way to go since you can't count on leaching it back anymore.
The zons passives allow her to dodge/avoid magic based attacks quite well now. I've seen mine and my wife's dodging away when lightning bolts and bone spirits and oblivion knight blobls and charged bolts come flying our way. The ability to avoid lots of damage, get big blocking without a lot of issue, and have a decent defense rating as well, just makes it seem like a well built zon is going to be able to just stand up there blocking and dodging away, and she has a away to avoid elemental and ranged attacks which are much more of a worry in 1.10 that no other character has. It even allows her to be pretty good with average equipment, though of course she would really shine with good gear.
Of course with the new tk bonus to energy shield, a vulpine warrior sorc might do pretty well too, but that is a very equipment dependent tank.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
