I usually go by 1ac = 5hp for a monk but even that is too high for me. For instance I would rather wear gatorscale sleeves 6ac / 15hp vs azure 12ac as a noob monk because hp scales better because of mend.
That 1700 ac monk might take hits better than an SK but I highly doubt he can "tank" better because that requires you to be able to gain/keep agro, and no monk is going to beat an SK at snapping and holding agro. I don't care what weapons he's using.

Devil’s advocate, if the monk is meant to be tanking, why would the SK be spamming aggro?
In context of original question, I think a monk will want to keep adding AC until they can mitigate decently or reach a point of diminished returns, and then focus on HP. It’s hard to provide specifics as the answer changes on circumstances.
