If you're having tough time
If you're having tough time with the fire, why don't you choose Vog cub, or even volcanic demo instead? What is the reason why you chose magic line? If the reason is only the fire resist, go for Vog, Sword ASI is pretty useful in offense way also in defense way as you can shield cancel faster than non ASI.
Well, I understand about Divine veil, it has free Divine Halo lookin' good and the Elemental+Shadow+Fire makes it look LIKE perfect in FSC. But why grey feather? Do you have any problems with Shock too, not only Fire? Do you actually need 2 pieces of Max shock resist?
If not, then just go for Vog Cub, which has normal+elemental defense and fire, plus ASI Med on sword instead of max shock resist.
I do have grey feather mantle, Divine veil and Chaos set, but I only use grey feather mantle in GitM Danger mission where I want to be immune to Shock spikes. I use divine veil against Fiend, and Chaos set almost everywhere especially in FSC. If you didn't have any problems with fire, I would totally recommend Chaos set but I can see you saying "having tough time with the fire" so I'm not going to.
So...you are looking to pick a set "which will work for the rest of the game," in other word, it's a "balanced loadout" I guess? You also asked "wut other armours work best with divine veil?"
A balanced (defensive) loadout should have Normal, elemental, shadow, piercing and fire/shock/freeze(they are most annoying for most people) defense. Which can be done by using Skolver Coat and Divine veil and it is very popular set, myself the first 5* set was this. It worked pretty well anywhere, it also has a fair amount of offensive bonus too. Damage med on swords and fiend med on every type of weapons.
Or if you are more on gunner side...I would replace skolver by shadowsun, it has poison defense which is slightly less important than freeze but it still is annoying status.
Anyway, I think the best+popular one is Skolver (also lookin good, divine knight), but as piercing defense is not as important as others, I would take Vog/Shadowsun too. Taking elemental or shadow armour over piercing one is more important imo as you can tank piercing damage by using BTS, one of the most awesome shields in the game.

Thanks
No i wanted the grey feather + divine veil was to increase the resistance of fire and shock. do u know having both of them increases the resist? cuz vine has fire and shock resist and grey feather does also. so the resistance is times 2! does it work that way?

yes
Yes, status resistances stack as you say. Check out the wiki page "Abilities" to learn more.

yes
yes it works that way
i said to choose vog or somethin else because you just wrote that you have problems with fire but still, i wouldn't choose grey feather for first 5* armour...but yeah, it is totally up to you, the decision is yours not mine

Grey feather is fine as an armor. Don't make vog. Whatever you do. You'll look like everyone else and you'll be boring and I'm tired of seeing every single player going through the game playing with that setup. Its honestly not even that amazing.

Vog is boring. and tbh, ASI is useless to me.
Don't be offended but ASI on a flourish or brandish for me is useless, but useful on Triglav and Suda.
Note that Grey Feather Set has the HIGHEST elemental defense in the game.
Ice Queen Set has the highest Piercing
And Dread Skelly Set has the highest Shadow.

ASI on a Flourish
ASI on a Flourish helps you interrupt devilites. In this sense it is highly valuable.
Further, ASI significantly increases the rate of swinging/comboing, as measured by the Lancer Knightz data. So it increases your damage per second significantly, which is valuable.

yes, Vog is boring. To be
yes, Vog is boring. To be honest, I made grey feather mantle A LOT BEFORE vog cub coat. But I find Vog Cub more useful so I recommend people vog cub over grey feather mantle.
And the higher ASI you have, the faster shield cancel you do. which means you would get hits less than having no asi. so even if you had high elemental defense (grey feather), vog cub would have "higher" protection.
