I'm not aware of any toxic melee attacks, I believe they're all ranged or aoe, so additional melee defense is protecting you from melee psi, pretty much. A snarky poster might say, "and good luck finding any of those!" but that isn't my style so I'll admit that you do actually run into melee psionic attacks on incarnate trials. However, at this point you're taking, slotting and using DA specifically for one type of enemy that appears in one type of content. Why not just use lucks?

The other case you could make is that the EA scrapper probably will only reach the 45% softcap to all types, at best. In this case, DA helps you reach the incarnate softcap without even slotting it for defense. The problem here is that it does not help you reach the incarnate softcap to any type other than lethal. The melee defense doesn't contribute to the kinds of defense you already have. I-trial enemies do indeed use lethal attacks but oh, so many more types do they also use. Again, why not just use lucks? You'll probably need them anyway.
