You would instantly be on the top of the threat table yes. However, bear in mind that if your BLM directly casts a second high damaging skill, which outdamages your next threat gain.... you're screwed. As your BLM would be tanking without the option to provoke it back. So it's a trick which could only work well if you work together as a team. However, if that's already the case anyway there's also no reason to just ask the DPS to hold off a CD or 2 if threat would be an issue. Easier, and less risk involved.
