The AC will be lower than what others might bring, but the saves, initiative, and utility are pretty good I think. Rok can support a party with healing and protective magic, but he can also move around nimbly even in full plate. At the back he can throw mind-effecting spells like murderous command or the stunning sound burst, and at the front he has burning hands with a respectible DC. His metamagic rod of reach means that when he casts shield other, it's got a medium range, meaning he's not tethered to the character he's protecting. Similarly, he can use it to cast cure moderate wounds without having to worry about getting up close. If he wants a higher AC, shield of faith brings him to 24, which while not unhittable, is certainly not easy to damage.

His later progression will see him learning fireball and other powerful spells, while still remaining hard to hurt. His sweet spot is probably around level 8 or 9 when he can grab things like freedom of movement and wall of fire, while flying on wings of flame.
