Yeah, I use the Scindo axe for pretty much the same thing - the massive radius on the jumping strike is a lifesaver. I tend to go for the charged attacks rather than light melee strikes, though. The heavy melee weapons in general are all very solid picks.
I'm rather underwhelmed by most of Rhino's powers, but Iron Skin is definitely worth it alone.
If you like that, maybe check out Trinity for a future warframe. Basically Link is very similar to Iron Skin, with shorter duration, a somewhat more unreliable resistance to knockdowns/knockbacks (it resists some, not all)...but damage reflection on enemies. Trinity's other powers are healing and energy regen stuff, but they work on you as well as the team.
(Disclaimer: I don't have Trinity. But it's next on my list of things to pick up.)
