DS or guardian blocks more than damage in future patches

I was fighting BGA with a friend (Hero), we were constantly getting stunned and doesn't matter if we stand on him or not, the stun kept coming and seems to bypass the invulnerable frame after any damages taken. So I don't know if the iframe glitch really did get completely fixed or it's now has changed to prevent damage only and not status effects. Also I have guardian maxed and I can see guardian animation going off and then I get stun, I thought I remember I read from some where guardian has a chance of blocking stun, but I haven't seen that happen, as I got stun more than my hero friend.
Anyone knows which patch (warrior/mage/archer reorg, or the last of the chaos patch), guardian (maybe its DS, not sure) is going to start blocking more than damage and possibly blocks stuns too?

* Edit*

Further thought, maybe guardian is preventing the iframe to active? As it blocks the damage, hence no iframe? This would also explains why I was getting stunned more than someone that doesn't have guardian. Hope that is not true or its going to change in the the future patch, otherwise it would makes playing a paladin sux.

Just a tip for fighting him:

Try to hit the mobs around to aggro them, but don't kill them. The more they're attacking you, the lower chance you have of getting stunned (this makes me believe that you cannot be stunned during invincibility frames). If you see the Showa Boss walking around, you can use Heaven's Hammer on him and he'll start summoning an army of mobs. Guardian and Power Guard hitting them keeps them on you. A little trick I use (and I never see anyone use it, ever, and don't know why) is using the snail shell skill. It works if you want to aggro a monster that's a little ways away from you, doesn't kill it, and doesn't require you to move around. It's my monster magnet, basically.

Edit in response to your edit:

I didn't think of that, but I can say that even if it's true, it doesn't make playing a Paladin suck.[/quote]

If I solo BGA then that will be the tactic I will be using, but I always train and fight with a hero which means they will kill off the mobs in 1 seconds unless they are in enrage.
When you have a passive skill (guardian) you can't turn off and its giving you negative benefice in some situations, that what I mean by "sux". Its almost like fighting a boss that is strong to all your charges.

Ok thanks! Now I know when to expect it and won't go BG again until then.
