I doubt you can soft cap all defenses. You can probably soft cap one category, like s/l defense. Instead of being extremely suceptible to a few damage types and hard to kill with others, I opted to go for 32.5% melee, ranged, and AoE defense on my Spines/Fire Scrapper. You would have to give up all hope of perma-hasten if you went that route, but the survivability is amazing with outside buffs or one small purple inspiration.
Spines/Fire is an endurance hog. It might be slightly less of an endurance hog than Dark Armor, though. I have a Dark Armor Tanker, so I can compare the two fairly well. I picked up Physical Perfection, Miracle and Numina uniques, and 3-slotted Stamina on both characters. The Dark Tanker went through endurance faster than I liked, so I had to go with the Cardiac Alpha boost. That solved my endurance issues. The Spines/Fire Scrapper is using a Spiritual boost.

) get 32.5% S/L/E/NE Defense and soft cap with one small purple when needed. Alternatively, you could get around 30% Def to those 4 types and use Shadow Meld to soak alpha strikes and let OG/CoF take care of the spawn. Endurance could be an issue if you go with Shadow Meld.

Softcap: Yes - to SLEN
