Using the data dump one can answer various questions (all keeping in mind the limitations of fsim scenarios).
One measure I think is more useful than avEffDam is "number of rounds in which you die". I computed this measure as follows. I ran fsim (looked at the defensive rounds) for 10000 (say) rounds. I then partitioned the rounds into "fights" The "fight" ends whenever the total damage you take is >= your HP, or 500 auts pass. I then store how many rounds the "fight" lasts.
Here is the application of this measure to one of my recent hellcrawl games. Here is the dump:

I found a +3 ring of evasion (scenario 1) and a +5 ring of protection (scenario 2). Which one should I wear? I tried fsim against a red ugly thing and a wyvern. Here are pictures. The bottom axis is number of auts divided by 10 (can be thought of as a "round"). The left axis is the probability that you are alive after so many rounds.
