I am against a new defense rune of any type. I wouldnt mind seeing a new rune that combine magic attack with say hp since that is definitely missing.
Nor would i be against current defense runes going to 12
The problem with that is that there are not enough other runes to fill the slots for Mages if you have a combined rune.
