Combo/Build thoughts: Holy Vestments + Deflect Magic on say...Arden

I was pondering how to build my Arvis to make him into something more than yet an OP physical wall that's hard countered by mages and a thought struck me: The lower ones resistance the more raw damage %reduction will block! *taps forehead*
I'm building Arden towards this now

Brave Sword+
Earth Boost
Followup Ring
Threaten Attack
Swap
Holy Vestments
Deflect Magic Seal

He'll have a million defense to soak physical, and if I can just get him into combat once before a mage takes a shot at him he'll be hit for 50% then 20% of the mages damage which his massive HP pool ought be able to soak nicely...then he'll doubtlessly crush that puny mage the following round.

Any thoughts on the build? It seems as though dragons and attack healers would be his only weaknesses.
Whatcha think about swapping threaten attack with threaten defense to ensure a good crushing the following round?

It looks good, you could make Arden into the ultimate tank.

Ye better watch out for Genny then if attack healers could kill you. My personal Genny could one shot you.

Also... Dragons. In particular, TA/Swordbreaker Nowi. I use to be see her semi-frequently before Reinhardt chased off the Falchion wielders and she might make a comeback if this becomes common.

Totally...I'm actually really glad that he has some hard counters, especially since they're both niche characters and I have such a soft spot for both dragons and Attack healers.
Still havnt had the good graces to pull Ninian or Genny though.
