2 monk splash, idc about stances or even monk ac bonus.
Parasitic Breastplate beats Icys hands down in S+B mode. (Icys are slightly better when full on 2 handed DPSing since you get the monk AC from no shield). Plus that little +10 reflex bonus.
Not sure I can completely break it down, but here's level 14:
10 base
10 dex mod
10 armor bonus (Parasitic)
7 shield bonus(Sorrel)
5 nat armor (Cove Hat)
3 tough hide (Parasitic)
4 deflection (Sorrel)
2 dodge (bracers of wind)
2 insight (cloak of flames)
1 armor ritual
1 shield ritual
3 paladin aura
3 DoSII stance
5 Combat Expertise
3 ship
1 haste

70
You can add dodge 3 (Chattering Ring) and dodge 1 if you like, I usually don't in lieu of DPS gear (Stalker, Bold Trinket) and/or Voice. The above is all of ~3 equipment slots. I think Protection from Evil still stacks(?) so that's another unlisted 2.
Reflex is 7 base + 10 dex + 5 pally cha + 1 good luck + 10 resistance + 1 ritual + 3 pally aura + 2 DoSII stance + 1 ship + 4 GH +1 haste = ~45.
Ooooh.. Pally.. My pally aura is only +2, and my nat armor is only +3. No rituals yet on shield or armor. And slightly less dex. Makes more sense now that you've broken it down. I was planning on Parasitic next level. Also I'll get my hound shield. Or Icys in monk stance.
My current breakdown at 13 unarmed is:
10 base
8 dex
5 wisdom
7 armor (crafted bracers)
6 natural (crafted + ship)
5 deflection (necklace crafted w/+3 natural)
5 dodge (1 water + 2 HoGF + SD1 stance)
2 misc (no fucking clue.. pally aura? 3 pally levels)
2 feat (again, no fucking idea. dodge feat + ???)
5 CE
1 centered
