Lavascale balance

I'm going to be reviewing Lavascale's drops and rebalencing them to be more in line with the encounter's difficulty, so if you have any other comparisons or suggestions post them now (constructively).
 
I was out of town the lately so I didn't get to post about this, but here it is:


Lavarock Skullcage
From SoDWiki

MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM
Slot: HEAD
AC: 24
STA: +16 HP: +65
SV COLD: +20
WT: 6.0 Size: SMALL
Class: WAR PAL SHD BRD

Hollow Golem Head
From SoDWiki

MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO DROP
Slot: HEAD
AC: 30
HP: +75
WT: 7.5 Size: SMALL
Class: WAR PAL SHD BRD
Race: ALL

Enforcer's Barbute
From SoDWiki

MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO DROP
Slot: HEAD
AC: 28
STR: +9 DEX: +9 STA: +9 CHA: +9 WIS: +9 INT: +9 AGI: +9 HP: +45 MANA: +45
SV FIRE: +9 SV DISEASE: +9 SV COLD: +9 SV MAGIC: +9 SV POISON: +9
WT: 6.5 Size: SMALL
Class: WAR CLR PAL RNG SHD BRD ROG SHM
Race: ALL

The first is dropped by Lavascale, the 2nd by The Stasis Preserver (yellow con, Dreadfang spire), the last by Enforcer Husrag in Stormkeep (red con).
The Skullcage is clearly not on the same foot as the barbute.

It seems to me that the Lavarock Skullcage's AC should be brought to 30 to make it desireable for the tank classes, since it's designed for them. Maybe then it would be overpowered, so possibly down the sta to 12?
