Stone Armor Question

Hello. I've just made my first tanker. Or more precisely the first one I'm actually going to play. In any case, I went for a stone/stone tanker, and noticed there were several armor powers.

I'm new to the game, so I'd appreciate it if you could answer my questions.

Do the armors stack, or work together in some fashion?
Is it smart to get one and not the others, or should I get all of them?
Is playing a Tanker better when you start out focusing on the your Primary, or should you balance it out more?

Any other advice?

1. All of the other armors besides granite will stack together. Granite can only stack with stone skin, rooted, mud pots, and earths embrace. Granite will not stack with rock armor, crystal armor, brimstone armor, or minerals.

2. I personally don't find brimstone and crystal armor (and beside some rare cases minerals) to be of use, but your mileage may vary depending on build.

3. That last question is definitely subjective. I personally find that I do well focusing on attacks first and then fill in with my defensive abilities, but playstyle would change this answer dramatically.
