I think I reached max defense somewhere around...5k dex with standard armor (i.e. empress or higher). I can't recall completely, and I'm sure someone has a formula. As you get more funding, you get more avoid too, which is also a big deal. I also maxed avoid at around 7-8k dex. It's also reliant on strength/luk and such, so you might need even higher values if you don't have some of those superior items or %all stat.
I think as a pirate, you sort of almost have to accept getting hit at warrior grounds. The best you can do is increase your % stats to grab that defense/avoid as you mentioned. Autopot, as mentioned above, would make your life much, much easier. There's also the aran character card, but it's pretty bad and probably will not satisfy you. Also, there's that potential on overalls that increases your invincibility by 1-3 seconds (and the corresponding nebulite you can put on the overall), which might help in this situation (I normally don't recommend getting it).
If autopot is not an option: the best advice I can give you is that you should not panic to pot if you are. Just realize that there's a set interval when you can get hit consecutively, and it's pretty long. Since you've played from .62, maybe you've experienced skeles or bossing back then. With the smaller HP pools, it was actually quite similar (2-3 hit KO). Personally, I got used to training that way through repetition. Eventually, you just instinctively pot, and it stops bothering you as much.
