One complaint, the equation for EH isn't correct. The article has "Health / (1 - AC%)" when it should be "Health / (1 - M%)" where M is the total mitigation (so mitigation from armor, talents, and abilities such as blessing of sanctuary). Which means that the equation used in the article over values armor and neglects other mitigation sources.

In fact, it's deeper than that. Mitigation is multiplicative. In other words, "Health/Product(1-%M)." There's a big post on http://www.therationalpi.com/markov/ that covers the calculation of effective health. It's somewhat specialized to warriors, but there are some general formulas that give effective health that isn't so armor-centric.
