Ice Troll Berserker gives 'enchantment bonus' to Natural Armor, so it will not stack with spells or the bonuses from amulets.
Luck of Heroes gives +1 AC, as does Armor Skin, and both stack with everything.
But speaking of Tumble... If you wear Armor or Shield, these things will impose an Armor Check Penalty. For example if you wear a Full Plate (Armor Check Penalty of -6), and a Tower Shield (Armor Check Penalty -10), which would mean that you actually need Tumble skill of 30 in order to avoid Attacks of Opportunity from movement. 30 (Tumble Skill) - 16 (Armor Check Penalty) = 14 (So you can beat skill DC of 15 even with roll of a one). It is one the reasons why you verey rarely see 'Stealth' characters going about in Full Plate and Tower Shield.
As for avoiding Attacks of Opportunity from Spell Casting, you can use Defensive Casting mode, which means that as long as you have Concentration skill that can meet or beat the DC of "15 + (Spell Level)" you can cast spells without provoking attacks of opportunity, and Concentrantion skill of 23 means automatic success. But that said, it is usually better to go for Improved Combat Expertise as it simply increases your AC by +6. (But ICE requires two feats, and at least 13 Intelligence.)
