This is the right idea.
As a soloing mage, I cannot count how many times having my defense maxed and lots of HP gear saved me from dying by allowing me to gate or get my pet on an add to finish the fight.
Get 2 5/55s, shimmering orb and glowing bone neck. If you can afford it: 2ac 35/25 black saph ears and neck, and rokyls instead of orb. People will think its crazy to use a shimmering orb, but not only does it offer hp, it offers 15ac in a shield slot, which is calculated similar to how defense points are calculated.
The most difficult part is having defense maxed, but you should be fighting low blues anyway, and if you do it right by stepping in for some hits now and then it won't be too bad.
Int is for suckers, you should be using your lvl 1 nuke and reclaiming fire pets when they get low HP and resummoning. That said your base points should go into INT, i made the mistake of putting them into stamina for an almost negligible effect.
