Force Armour & Self defence

[Enitharmon]

If you're concerned about survival, dragon hat on a lvl60 mage is not helping.
Compared to a Great Healer with VG resist and 5-7% armour bonus, you'll take up to 50 more damage per hit wearing the vesper hat!

Gloves are not that important for armour, but I'd try to swap out those as well. At least get some nonspecial Great Healer stuff w/good resists for tanking, put them on the quickbar and swap whenever you need to put yourself in a dangerous position. I did that, and ended up just using the manaless armour 95% of the time. Playing conjurer with ~2k mana is really not that bad.
