Kai Leng most certainly benefited from plot armor, but seeing as he was dead by then I'm still not sure how it really played a role in the ending - Shepard and the beam doesn't really count, because that whole situation is confused as heck and makes no sense in the first place (given that your 'vaporized' squadmates can reappear alive and well in the final cutscene). Same thing goes for the 'Shepard lives' scene. Calling it plot armor suggests it makes a lot more sense then it actually does.
