Armor rating for any armor type, be it light, medium or heavy, goes up with your char's rating in the corresponding armor skill, so yes, the DC will get better as your heavy armor skill increases.
I myself haven't played through the entire game either, but I'd say that you've found a very good cuirass, maybe even the best, in the DC. Overall best heavy armor (in an unmodded game) seems to be Daedric. Can't point you to any sure locations though.
