Rigid Carapace or Infernal Armor are the ideal for durability, though the 2nd and 3rd tier traits (Gemhide, Ablative Shielding, Crystalline Armor) are strong enough that you'll often pick pieces just for them. For M+ specifically, it's also a good idea to have 1 Soul Rending and 1 Cycle of Binding slotted, as the utility and raw DPS increase they provide is phenomenal for 5-man content.

You are a very helpful dude. Cheers.
For straight survival, you want at least one Carapace and Infernal armor. Gaping Maw is ok, but if you're running Spirit Bomb anyway it's not the best.
Cycle of Binding is good, especially in higher keys, but I don't consider it necessary by any stretch.
Second ring, as said above, Crystalline and Gemhide are always active in M+. Winds of War shouldn't be neglected either, it's a permanent Dodge buff basically.
Impassive Visage (obviously) for 3rd ring is so, so nice.
One final note on first ring traits, Essence Sever is very powerful in M+, but the number of souls and procs does not increase with multiple traits, only the damage.
