What the crap!! How! daaangggg. I capped my smithing, the only thing giving me better armor rating is the "heavy armor skill +," the thing that gives me the most is the normal upgrades via armor improving (smithing, not modded). The only thing that's modded is extra enhancing slots. I can't pick the same enhance twice on the same armor or anything. I'd just throw on stuff that don't matter like alteration, H2H, and 2hand buffs.
My best armor piece has a armor of 300 when the extra heavy armor skill is applied to me. Then the heavy armor perks like "armor set bonus", and "All heavy armor equipted bonus."
Crap, just found out there's a fortify enchantment alchemy synth. Time to level up to try to make a +2. Going to figure out this more defense rating before I synth again though. At least I'll have enough for more demon hearts.
Edit: I just read over your post from the previous page. Oh so the trick is to buff up the smithing enchantment enough to have awesome Smithing +X gear? And all this time I though Alchemy was useless (who need mana and hp potions? Bwahaha).

Making the Best Possible Equipment — Instructions
1. Start the process by crafting a full set of gear with the Fortify Alchemy enchantment. With four items (Helmet, Bracers, Ring, Amulet), each boosting your Alchemy skill by 25% for a full 100% Alchemy skill bonus.
2. To learn the Fortify Alchemy enchantment, you can obtain Muiri’s Ring from the quest “Mourning Never Comes” after finishing the bonus objective. This quest is taken from Muiri during the Dark Brotherhood Quest line.
3. Next, craft Fortify Enchanting potions. Use ingredients like the Blue Butterfly Wing, Hagraven Claw, Snowberries, and Spriggan Sap to craft the potions. Now, use these new potions to craft another set of Fortify Alchemy Gear, improving the gear slightly, boosting from a 25% bonus to a 28% bonus.
4. With this new set of gear with Fortify Alchemy enchantments, make another set of Fortify Enchantment potions, increasing their effectiveness from 28% to 32%. These are the best possible Fortify Enchantment potions possible in Skyrim, so don’t worry about making more, yet.
5. Potions ready, use them and create yet another set of equipment with two enchantments — Fortify Alchemy and Fortify Smithing. You should end up with a total 116% bonus to Alchemy and Smithing, with an individual 29% bonus for each piece of equipment.
6. Use your new gear to craft yet another set of potions — this time, create Fortify Smithing potions. This property is found in Blisterwort, Glowing Mushroom, Sabre Cat Tooth, and Spriggan Sap. Combined with the previous steps, the potions should have a 130% bonus to your Smithing skill.
7. Now, use your Fortify Enchanting potions to enchant whatever set of armor or weapon you want to fully enhance. Follow that by equipping your Fortify Smithing and Fortify Alchemy equipment — all four parts. Chug your Fortify Smithing potion, too. Now you’re ready to fully enhance your enchanted equipment at a workbench or grindstone.
There is a mod creation pack that will be released by the developers. I hope this allow people to make better mods, and maybe a ffxi type mod. The more I look at this crafting stuff the more it reminds me of ffxi's. Without the crazy HQ system, or hoping that moon, day, and direction effect the HQ proc.
I really need to find a good respec mod.

This is without any Protect spells that boost my def rating. I can cast one and get it over 1000.
