"you gain an addtional 50% damage reduction " vs “all damage taken is reduced by 50%”… I’m wondering if the word “additonal” means anything. From my experience it seems they both produce the same result, am I correct?
Despite the different wording they do the same thing. They are multiplicative toughness boosts. When both are applied you take 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25 times the damage.

If your build does not consume resources (like Trag), Aquila is superior as it gives you the DR buff all the time, whereas Dayntee gives you the DR buff ONLY if you had cursed a monster.
And in my numerous pushes, casting Curses (every so often) breaks Siphon Blood channeling and drops dps.
Aquila or Dayntee in the end depends on how you gear your Necro. If you can squeeze Aquila then go for it. And as Kirottu already said, having both (gives you 75% DR) is better than just having one.
