The only situation where this is correct is if:
  1. You only have one life left, and
  2. You're facing an attack of 5 or greater
In that situation, 5 defense is better than 2+tough. This can be verified as the breakpoint by comparing the wound chance table to the G-Nator wound chance table.

Aside from that, tough is always (slightly) better than three additional defense dice. Consult the post I made two posts before yours for details.

Roughly the mirror image situation applies here. 3 autoskulls is better than 6 attack dice, except against very high defense figures with lots of life.
