Okay, while I thought you may be interested in historical iterations of AC on live, I reckon you are most interested in how it works specifically here in context of your characters. No mention of what the return after softcap is for druids, but some of your questions are answered in a post I found for you.
I found a post for you from one of the Devs who worked on p99 AC system.

There is a component to your defense rating based on level.
And we use a softcap system, not a hardcap based system.
Warriors get a 45% return above softcap.
Adding a shield increases ur softcap.
Based on new formulas from soe, i am removing the level part from defense rating. And increasing the ac component by 4/3. This helps ac mean more, and you get hit harder naked.
Other changes that are on beta, is iksar ac bonus is moved to be equal to level, 10 min, 35 max. Previously it was level/2. Not 15 like wiki had i guess.
At low levels the softcap is more level based than defense based. I basically doubled transition so at low levels ac means more.
I added a low level raw ac cap of level * 6 + 25.
It looks better now and i can see ac scaling damage up to soft cap, and lesser reductions above softcap.
