Keep in mind that should you do this, you are going to start running into all sorts of edge cases that are going to need additional rulings. The one that immediately comes to mind here is how do you split up damage that applies to the entire body - the dragonfire burnt the entire front of your body but only your arms heal faster, so....

Look at how the rules for DR expand from a very simple rule (subtract DR from any damage roll) to stuff like how much DR applies to eyeslits, chinks in armor, large area injury, sealed vs. unsealed.... The rules for DR have already been worked out for you long ago, but for most other stuff you're going to have to make it up. Be prepared for that.
