Defense, Resiliance and avoiding critical hits

A couple of people have asked me recently about how resiliance and defense skill combine to make one uncrittable. Here are some of the numbers: (all for level 70 toons)

60 defense rating = 25 defense skill = 1% critical hit avoidance
39.4 resiliance = 1% critical hit avoidance

It appears you need the combined critical hit avoidance to equal ~20%

If you have a defense skill of 350 you need 225 resiliance to reach uncrittable

If you have a defense skill of 370 you need 190 resiliance to reach uncrittable.

If you have a defense skill of 490 you don't need any resiliance to reach uncrittable. This is how most PvE tanks reach uncrittable.
