Personally, I'd just make it elven, thieve's and orichalcum... maybe not even all those modifiers together. I realize LotR cannon would mean mithril mail would also have to be more resistant, but I think the added DR against crushing, the light weight and the freedom of movement is more than enough to make it attractive.

Or, you could just make mithril items thrice as thick (using the orichalcum modifier for it), they'd weigh the same and offer x3 DR. Would be pharaonically expensive... maybe settle for double thickness for 2/3 weight of the original piece of metalic armor.
