Dragonhide will give you 80% damage resist, which is the maximum you can obtain with armor. This will last 30 seconds (45 with the duration perk), but it can be dual casted for 99 seconds duration.
Ebonyflesh will give you 300 armor rating (with the mage armor perk x3) for 3+ mins (with the duration perk and dual casted), this will give you ~40% damage resist.
To help with the charge time, and to not stagger from enemy hits, I recommend using the become ethereal shout with master spells. You can then charge them up without interruption, this is amazing with mass paralyse ha.
