Yes there is really a big advantage to having high AR points. The thing is though, there really isn't a big difference between sapphire (the best plate) and aqua (mediocre plate), only 19 AR points. So really the shield is your most important tool in PvP if you are trying to minimize incoming physical damage.
Basically you are right, 50 armor without a shield is plenty. With a shield though you want to be in the 90's-100's.
