Does Beckoning Steel synergize with Nikulas? Reflect Build theorycraft

I'm theorycrafting a Reflection build and so far- I've come up with this:

-5pc Nikulas (reflects 25% of projectiles)
-Dragon Firescale (reflects 4 projectiles for 40% more damage)
-Spell Wall (reflects all projectiles for 6 seconds)
-Defensive Stance (reflects and stuns)

So, I'm trying to figure out if Beckoning Steel will intercept projectiles from my teammates and be reflected back at the attacker because of Nikulas (or any one of the skills listed). Or, does Beckoning Steel simply intercept the projectile and I have to take the damage?

Also- If you'd like to make suggestions of a secondary armor set (instead of Beckoning Steel) and Monster Helm, be my guest!

    It does as far as I know. I have been wanting to try that type of set up on 3rd boss in AA. Also standing with a set up like that in breaches in PvP with Swarm Mother as monster set is a really sweet deal. Can do a lot of damage and pull people, combine it with chains and you can be a really great defender of a keep. Get someone to be your personal healer and few people will get past you.

    Yeah, I also considered the following sets to combine with Nikulas:

    -Threws of the Harbinger (lazy way of adding damage)
    -Noble's Conquest (interesting for applying Deep Breath)
    -Bastion of the Heartland (could lead to a perma-block build, though)
    -Defending Warrior (a damage/heal proc)

    ...and as for the Monster Helm: perhaps Infernal Guardian? With all those damage shields going up... it would be nice to add some DPS.

    Does swarm mother work on reflected projectiles? In its description, it says that you need to block an attack for the set to work so wouldn't you want to get hit rather than reflect projectiles? Idk
