The runestones are 2,250, with three azures being 2,100. With Companion's gift proccing 3 times you'd get 8,483 extra defence. That means that the Hound's base defence would need to be about 4,000 in order to hit the 20,000 you say you're getting. If you have it Legendary and summoned, you'll get maybe 1,000 extra defence at most.
Christ, I've been locked out of this forum for ages now, just managed to get in. Stupid Arc Defender keeps thinking I'm using new computers cause I have a Dynamic IP. Annoying.
I've also gone for the full-on buff route since this thread, I'm topping out at 95% DR at the moment without Companion's Gift proccing more than 3 times.
I'm going to post another thread with my current build to see what people think.

Just can't see how you're hitting 33,000 defence.
Think caps suppose to be 3? Idk
DR% caps at 80%. I know this.
But if you are at say 90% DR, does ITF give you an 80% buff or 90%. I have ITF at rank 4.
I also assume that the DR% from a negation does not convert to damage with ITF since it is a temporary source of DR%.
Do sources of temporary defense (say a potion or power from another class) convert into a damage buff via ITF?

So potion and companion defense factor in.
Yes any tooltip that simply says "raises DR" does not effect it.
Have guide on mmominds, explains more. Also ill be updating it this weekend when laptops put the shop
So far i have no reason to believe there is a cap on itf dmg bonus, other ppl call out when i hit it with 5 stacks that they hittin crazy numbers
