Well there a few problems with that. 1. Dumbeldore won't use that curse, it's entirly against his character.2 It's been seen in the book that solid objects can stop or defelct spell, simple stone will break but Voldemort made a meatal sheild in his fight with Dumbeldore that he use to defelct spell. Magic is basically energym and you can't assume that his armor won't work against magic and you can't assume it will. But I bleive at least his sheild will stop spells, even the killing curse because it's a protective bubble around him, it take the shock completly away from his body, so anything that has to hit him has to go thrugh the sheild first. And sense the sheild's make a sorta physical barrier between the user and the outside world, and even the most powerful spells can be stopped by a physical barrier, then it stands to reason that his sheilds wouls stop spells. Even if he finds a way to take the shield down it will be back up in a feww seconds but he still has that armor itself to deal with. In the end of book 5, Dumbeldore brings some statues to life to protect Harry, I bleive the Statues were gold and they deflected The Avada Kedavra curse. But As mentioned befroe Dumbeldore can't use it in a fair fught sense it's totally out of character, although he does have other offensive magics, the killing curse itself can't be used and a valid argument for him.
