I tested this by engaging the Level 20 Hive by the Seeder past The Forgotten Shore. In the beta a few of us tried running this gauntlet of doom at level 8 and would be killed in a single shot. Now, wearing the base Warlock Armor brought me down to my base Level 20 with 59 Defense. A single shot from an Acolyte was enough to push my health bar just past the first tick mark... so they were doing roughly 30% damage to me. Since they weren't killing me outright we can conclude that a player's level has a significant effect on the damage they take, even when the Defense Rating does not change.

This would seem to prove Cody wrong."

No it doesn't. Is 8 greater than or equal to 20? No. Math dude.

If you are UNDER LEVELED YOU WILL GET MURDERED, as evidenced by what you just wrote.

I am talking about being an equal or higher level than your enemy, in which case additional levels over the enemy level matters zilch.
