Best defense in order of effectiveness:
1. Damage. If you can kill it before it attacks, you don't need any survivability.

2. Utility. Freeze Mine + Added Cold Damage + Cold Penetration = Enemies don't move. If they can't attack you, you don't take damage. Disabling abilities like Enfeeble, Temporal Chains, Conversion Trap, and so on are priceless. This can also include a Rejuvenation Totem, Decoy Totem, Shockwave Totem, Summon Skeletons, Summon Zombies, and more.

3. Evasion. Not only do you take no damage against attacks, you can double its effectiveness with a single point: Ondar's Guile.

4. Armor. You simply take less damage and because you take less damage you are stunned fewer times and for a shorter duration.

5. Deep hit point pool. You can take quite a few hits. This is better than large amounts of recovery since a single shot can put a shallower hit point character down.

6. Fast recovery. This can be anything from literal recovery speed from stun, chill, freeze, and such, to anything like regeneration and leeching. If you can recover more than you lose, you're golden.

1# 5.
2# 6.
3# 3./4.
4# 2.
5# 1.

Assuming we´re talking about every kind of mob and not only whites. Last point though is a conjunction though with 2# depending on how much you rely ond LL and GR etc etc
