Gorget/mufflers essentially adds 30HP more to your stoneskin on top of what your normal stoneskin hp was.

Each point of MND is 3x as good as a point of Enhancing Skill for Stoneskin.

As Zykei says though, nothing beats Stone Gorget.

You specifically mentioned for Stoneskin, not Phalanx. Besides, you should be macro'ing in a different set for both Stoneskin and Phalanx.

75 RDM can cap Stoneskin @350 with 95 MND.

Very easy to do. Should put some haste and fast cast in that macro too ~.^

It would be helpful if you would be more specific; Your post adds absolutely nothing to this discussion.

Notes
The formula for determining how much damage is absorbed is:





where
The damage absorbed from the spell is capped at 350. However, receiving the Stoneskin effect from this spell while equipped with Stone Gorget adds an additional 30 damage absorbed, and Stone Mufflers adds another 30. These additional "HP" are not limited by the spell's natural cap; when Stone Gorget and Stone Mufflers are used together, the maximum total damage absorbed by the Stoneskin is raised to 410.
Note that when cast as Accession+Stoneskin, enhancing "Stoneskin" equipment must be worn by the receiver in order to take effect--a Scholar cannot give Stoneskin above 350HP to people who are using neither Stone Gorget nor Stone Mufflers.

source

What this means is that for the neckslot the stoneskin torque is the optimal choice. To answer your question of choosing between enhancing torque and MND+5, we would need to know what the rest of your setup looks like. In general one can say though that MND > Enhancing Magic for Stoneskin.
