I spent 40 emblems on a nice belt for my paladin, and she now has 537 defence (from 525). I went for a quick Heroic Utgarde Keep run, and I cannot say I felt such a big difference, honestly. It just felt like a nice run where everything goes according to plan.

I guess it would be more significant in a harder instance.
You won't feel that much of a difference. It's only meant to prevent the occasional moments where you're tanking a lot of mobs, are a bit low on health and then get hit with a badly timed crit.
