So I've got a full set of heavy armor that I've improved with Smithing to be legendary in quality. 

 

At max enchanting (even with a potion) the Heavy Armor enchantment adds 33 to the Heavy Armor skill (meaning when you view the skill in your talent tree it will show 133, etc). 

 

I don't really know how this translates into physical damage reduction. Is this enchantment actually good or should I ditch it for some magic resistance?

 

Any info is appreciated, thanks.

I'm not sure if that'll help answer your question.

My understanding was, once you've reached 567 armor rating, nothing else really does anything tangible for you.  I don't know if that's changed, but I have non-scientifically tested it (in oldrim) with very good pieces, and then trash armor, and noticed no difference in damage taken than when wearing a full set over 567.
