Again,
1) you CAN'T afford to point non stop at an enemy, especially if you need to maneuver and he use laser
2) you won't be able to protect a large arc and still have payload, or proppelant. (reminder it will be 50% of your mass)
3) there's still thing you will need to leave open, the radiators alone will require serious trade-off and if the enemy can inflict enough damage to disable a critical part of trigger a cascade failure.

Economically it may be possible you can't have warship at all, only missiles swarm and orbital laser network.

So no you can't have mirror armor.
