That 5% makes, from 82 to 87, means it takes about 1.5x as much damage to kill. Every single defense point raises your effective HP by the same amount. There is no "wasted" amount in that sense.
Of course, there are sources of damage that ignore defense altogether, but that's another topic.
It is wasted, IMO in that there are probably other abilities that could have been more effective than gradual gain of 5% defense...
No argument there. As I mentioned, there are plenty of sources of damage that won't care about the defense. Also, there are plenty of teams that ramp mastery and plenty of toons with mastery that includes Armor Pen.
