You are correct in that 540 defense skill is the cap for raid bosses. This point makes you uncrittable by a level 83 mob. Much like hit has hit rating and expertise has expertise rating, defense has defense rating that you get by gear. All characters at 80 should have 400 defense skill built-in. So the goal is to get enough defense rating to raise that skill to 540. That requires 689 defense rating. If you mouse over the defense skill showed on your character pane, it will show how much defense rating you have.

I recommend downloading a mod called RatingBuster

It automatically converts ratings into a more practically relevant value.
So, for instance, my shield's tooltip says "Equip: Increases defense rating by 44 (8.95 defense)"

Yes, that is a really good addon to have. For any class, in fact, as it helps tell what differences (if minute) there may be between gear pieces.
