You show an example of what a terrible balance is, you know the 10% is getting a nerf stick to 7.5%.
And your example doesn't prove on anything armor tanking is balanced, very far from there, the only armor tanking that got a real good buff is buffer tanking = aka Amarr.
1v1 fights and lol duels incoming got buff? -hell yeah, awesome...

It's getting better? -yes
Is this what armor tanking was in need? - more lol mods and skills to train = no
Before even introducing AARs old modules should have been balanced correctly: frigates/destroyers balance=small mods balance and so on so forth.
Then add new modules to offer more options? -yes but those should not be mandatory, this is the problem I have with this current armor balancing method.

The 2 systems are completely different from more than 1 perspective.
Armour Tanking is more Capacitor efficient.
Base values for Armour are higher than they are for Shields
Armour Tanking gets a Passive Omni-Resistance Module, Shield Tanking gets an Active Omni-Resistance Module
Finally Armour Tanking requires less SP.
Armour Tanking Skills
Repair Systems (R1)
Hull Upgrades (R2)
Armour Resistance Phasing (R3)
4x [xyz] Armour Compensation (R2)
Total Ranks - 14 (3,584,000 Skill Points)
Shield Tanking Skills
Shield Compensation (R2)
Shield Management (R3)
Shield Operation (R1)
Shield Upgrades (R2)
Tactical Shield Manipulation (R4)
4x [xyz] Shield Compensation (R2)
Total Skill Ranks - 20 (5,120,000 Skill Points)
Tip 1
Train new character from scratch for Tengu with strategic skill 4 subs 5 support missile 5 HAMs and HMs spec 4
Tanking skills 5 if you get the feeling to passive tank your Tengu
Tip 2
Train another new character from scratch for Proteus with strategic skill 4 subs 5 support gunnery 5 Medium rails&blasters 4, tanking skills 5
Both intended for DPS roles, forget drones in both cases or your Proteus plan will skyrocket.
What happened in your Evemon plan?

That AAR needs to be coupled with a regular AR to offer the burst you need. 2 low slots +1mid for mandatory cap injector vs1 mid, it's huge trade off for little/none advantage (double lol rep) and completely nullified when you get to start talking about double ABS fits.
