Crit reduction from defense?

Does crit reduction from defense apply to players in PvP, and if so does it also apply to spells cast.
I ask because I've generally been wearing tanking gear for Arenas, and I've got some crafted PvP gear that might be more useful. Might not be the smartest option, but it has served me well in the meantime.

Yes and yes. However defense is not particularly useful in pvp because you cannot hope to get enough defense rating to counter the crit chance of a well geared player. Resilience scales faster (fewer points needed to get a 1% reduction in critical hits) and reduces the crits and dots which do land.

Right, this was just a "in the meantime" plan. Thanks for the answer =)
Currently, the crit reduction from my few PvP pieces is less, and I lose a good 7k health just wearing them as well. Good to know for the future!
