I'm looking for an armour set that would make using Fang of Vog charges in normal combat a real viability. I imagine the best thing to go for would be CTR and Fire resistance. If it has to include UVs it's fine but the less the better.
Best Armour to use with Fang of Vog?

agree
You certainly want fire protection, then CTR, then ASI. So Vog Cub is a great choice.

@thinslayer Chaos set, but that has negative fire resistance, so i don't recommend it. i don't recommend the fang of vog either so w/e

Vog Cub is boring, but Vog
Vog Cub is boring, but Vog Cub and UV or CTR Trinkets.
I love doing vana run with Vog Cub (usually Chaos but it's for hybrid), FoV, DVS, WRH and Voltedge :p

If you need shadow defense,
If you need shadow defense, Crown+Armor of the Fallen also offers fire protection and qualifies as swordsman gear.

Vog Cub no doubt
Any armor set with it's maximum fire resistance is good such as Divine and Volcanic Salamander, but Vog Cub has attack speed increase that boosts the weapon's speed plus full fire resistance.
Wear full Chaos if you want to go kamikaze.

Vog Set
I dont know, but i think that was the whole purpose..
Vog cub resists fire, and increases sword attack speed.
Vog fang inflicts fire, and possibly to yourself on charge.
Just grab a couple sword focus modules, OR if you feel lucky enough, roll CTR VH + ASI Med UV on your fang and use 2 Elite Slash modules plus the Barbarous thorn shield, this way you can achieve max damage, max ASI, max CTR, and bring it all home with your fire resistant attire, and it looks pretty good too!

Vog Cub Coat/Cap
Hi! Vog Cub is your choice. The FoV's basic attack is slower then other weapons in his kind. Vog Cub has ASI Very High so it will swing like other weapons with the same basic attacks. Maybe faster! Also, it provides really good fire resistance. And as we know, the charge attack of the FoV is really powerfull, but can inflict you fire. Vog Cub will "immune" you from fire.. You will recive damage but.. Only 3 hearts.

Everyone seems to be ignoring the fact that OP specifically said " that would make using Fang of Vog charges in normal combat a real viability. "
ASI IS IRRELEVANT!

As a Fang user myself...
I currently used to do crown runs in FSC with Fang of Vog (natural CTR Med), Vog Cub hat with a Fire resist UV (low or med, not sure which), Chaos cloak (Damage Med and CTR med), and 5* Owlite shield. This works fairly well with my HP is sitting at 50% or more. With a bit of planning, I can typically one shot Trojans.
I've recently replaced my armor with a Radiant Silvermail and have been using a Dread Skelly shield with a Soaking Wetstone and Penta Heart Pendant.
This takes a bit more finesse and using the charge attack of the FoV less often, but it works alright for me.
If you can swing it, Soaking Whetstone trinkets, one piece of Chaos gear, and one piece of Vog gear (or something with a high natural Fire resist). The Chaos gear and FoV at max level with give you a Very High CTR, the Vog Gear can more than cancel out the negative fire resist of the Chaos Gear and the Trinkets will give you some added padding against the low chance of setting yourself on fire when using the charge attack.
Though, to get off topic, I have noticed that the "Speed" bar does not seem to accurately reflect how fast the sword should swing. I've made no real attempt to quantify what my eyes see, but ASI gear doesn't seem to give the same attack speed boost to a FoV that I can notice with other swords.

"but ASI gear doesn't seem to give the same attack speed boost to a FoV that I can notice with other swords."
FoV is already slower than other 3hits swords (brandish, calibur) to start with. So obviously it won't give the same results after applying ASI either.

You can see exactly how fast all of the 5-star swords are, at most levels of ASI, here (at least as measured by combos per minute). Between ASI-2 and ASI+6, the combos per minute of all swords go up by roughly 1/3. That includes Fang of Vog, which is generally slow, as Little-Juances says.

Pretty much any armor with fire resistance and a fire resistance UV on top of it will be the same. Given that you might want to use more than just FoV charges, I'd suggest vog cub, armor of the fallen or volcanic demo, pending on where you're doing the charges and what other weapons you'll be using.
@Larry
As are most of your comments.

Fang of Vog is perfect with Vog Cub. Vog Cub increases Sword Attack speed and has high Fire resist which acts as a counter to FoV's relatively slow speed and chance of self-fire when using the Charge attack.
There's no Sword-specific armours which give a Damage bonus and a Fire resistance (UVs not included), although there is Salamander/Volcanic Salamander which has Fire Resist and provides universal weapon bonus against Slimes, low and medium respectively. That might be something to think about when doing Royal Jelly.
Armor of the Fallen has Fire/Poison resistance, universal weapon Damage bonus vs Fiend and ASI low.

@Misty-Wellington
Fallen has a damage penalty against fiends, not a bonus.
The Fang of Vog is also a slow swinger. There are no swordsman armors (or any armors, for that matter) that reduce the charge time of swords, but Vog Cub increases the FoV's attack speed, making its regular attacks viable for general usage. Since Vog Cub also resists fire in large quantity, it is nearly perfect for using the Fang of Vog. I sometimes take the Vog set on RJP runs just for that reason.
