Which is better, 190 crits resistance, or 14 % armor increase?

It looks like the critical damage resistance is giving about 200 resistance and the armor increase is giving about 200 increase in armor.
Now that armor increase is there all the time, not just for critics, but I don't know the game mechanics well enough to tell if the crit resistance is something better though it instinctively feels better especially against the bosses.
Ideas?

    As far as i know, PvE mobs do not crit, making crit resistance only useful for PvP.

    Even then, if you rely on shields for defense, crit resistance has relatively low priority because shields can not be crit in the firstplace.

    ^ agree. To add to this, the additional armor will also add to your spell resistance (1:1).
