So they want either the AC to scale up (to stay useful) or have it changed to a % mitigation instead.
If the Paly AC buff isn't up to scratch then I really hope you get it, I've nothing against Paly's or DK's and you obviously know more than I do (since my Paly is a meagre level 25).

We don't have an AC buff, we have a mitigation increase in Def stance of 15%m maybe that's what you are missing???

We do have a temporary buff, Warders Bulwark, whilst it is awesome at max level giving a boost of 20%, it only last for 30 seconds and requires a crit to activate.

That may not sound like a problem but we are a very crit/finisher dependant class, with the ability to force a crit every 60 seconds we have to choose wisely which finishers to use.

For the most part I end up using our Stinging Cut and Blades bite finishers, they had the majority of our hate when tanking and often I can't spare a crit for Warders Bulwark, it's great for the occaisional mob that really really hits hard, but tough to balance our aggro finishers and our mitigation finisher.

Add to that our armour debuff finishers, our aoe finishers, our newly added def stanc damage finishers and you're stretching those crits very thin.

On higher level mobs I'm finding I don't crit anywhere near enough and as a result my mitigation buff isn't going up as often as I'd like.
