armor vs evasion vs energy shield

The big problem with ES builds is that you pretty much won't get any armor or evasion - maybe a little evasion if you run Grace, but that's it - yet you don't really get more ES than life builds get life. It's not at all unusual for a life build to have 5k+ life while also having pretty high armor or evasion. A CI build basically writes off armor and evasion but doesn't get so much more ES that it's worthwhile. Coupled with the fact that you give up healing potions, it's been really hard to justify going pure ES. The builds are stretched so incredibly thin but for no real gain since ES is not inherently better in any way.

Some spells deal physical damage, which is affected by armour.

Yes it does. Evasion doesn't, and can't, interact differently with the different damage types, because it's on a completely different level from them. Either you evade a hit, in which case there's no damage and the types it might have been are irrelevant, or you don't, in which case you take it all.
