That's right, but it's only a temporary workaround -- it's not a solution for crit immunity. Replace the resilience as soon as possible with the appropriate amount of defense.
Make sure that you're also uncrushable with Shield Block, which would be 102.4% avoidance & block to push crushing blows off the combat table. It shouldn't be hard at all, and you probably are, but never assume anything when it comes to matters of importance.

In short, Glyph of the Gladiator is for higher effective health. It sacrifices defense rating or other stats available on helms in order to obtain it. It has a side effect of adding some crit reduction, but it is not a replacement for defense rating.
If, and by your own admission, you are, close to 490 defense, I recommend keeping the Glyph of the Defender. It gives you some breathing room to prevent from dipping below if you change another piece of gear.
For the most part, Gladiator is more of a special enchant & I recommend it only for those who know when they can use it, or should. For example, someone who can't get 490 defense at all (because their gear is so random or they don't have a full tanking suit yet), it can be useful to prevent crit immunity.
All resilience does is reduce the chance to be critically hit (which means reducing critical hit damage is irrelevant). So, if you are incapable of obtaining 490 defense, then the Gladiator glyph may be helpful.

You need 5.6% reduced chance to be crit. When your in game, you can put your mouse over defense rating and resiliance, and they tell you how much they reduce chance to be crit by. Long as the two add up to at least 5.6% your good.

Ok so 102.4% avoidance and block is your Dodge Parry and block RATING all added together? I dont understand the math formulas and if I missed it in Yakra's sticky I apologize.
