Defensive Stance is blackboxed and we're unable to change it's properties. We attempted to change its uses per day to 12, but also ran into issues there.

My suggestions for enhancing the class have been to focus on mitigating damage rather than avoiding it - giving them more DR, elemental resistances, regen, and/or SR, possibly tied to being in Defensive Stance if that's possible without too much headache.
They're still solid enough as far as AC - they're heavy-armor characters, after all, and most use shields; it's not difficult for my UD to hit AC ~70 with Improved Expertise active, for example, though that does have the side effect of ignoring Defensive Stance - but I think improvements to the class could still be considered, just in alternate venues than just "make their AC bigger".
