Using the sol rune

The sol rune has the "damage reduced by 7" when you put it on armor so I decided to stick in 2 sols in my griswald's armor + a tal for poison resist.

Should I have gone for another sol, making it 21 damage reduced? Or did I make a bad move and just wasted 2 sols (potentially 2 insight re-rolls)?

I read somewhere that the damage reduced by X is actually a huge help when you're a melee toon, which I am. I am currently lvl 52 zeal/smite pally. Haven't really tried the armor yet, but slapped it on and it looks good.

would an armor sol'ed 4x be effective in negating damage?

thanks in advance for explaining:

-damage reduced by X
-damage reduced by X%
