We don't verify if third-party spreadsheets or mods have accurate numbers in them. Other players are usually pretty good at pointing out limitations when they arise.
You shouldn't be losing any armor unless you already have the best jewelry and trinkets available in the game. The reason we announced this change very early was so players didn't go through heroic efforts to procure those items only to find their armor component later nerfed. One of the reasons we made the change was because druids without those pieces felt like sub-standard tanks with regard to mitigation.
For druids without those pieces, the change should be a buff.
