One point into berserk for physical immune monsters you will come across in hell difficulty. That skills changes ALL of your damage and then some into magic damage.
As for defense, in my experience it isn't that helpful. Well, OK, a third of you total skill points to max shout/Iron skin will probably make your defense helpful... but we are talking about 40 skill points. That's from level 30 to level 70. Also, even with extremely high defense you will STILL get hit, and I'm pretty sure that DR is heftily penalized while running to boot.
