Dunno what you mean by "Compounding Zhonyas" but if you mean stacking em, don't. Its a waste of money.

His ultimate is a Toggled ability, not a channeled ability, meaning Zhonya's Active Buff does not interrupt it.

I'm rather curious about AD DPS Swain now that I think about it.... I've been testing a Tank build i threw together (found on userpage)

Swain is a rather interesting champion to work with regardless... You can combine Mana-based Armor or Health Items (Frozen Heart, Banshee's Veil) and other items (Randuin's Omen, Spirit's Visage) for a tanky build combined with his ultimate.

AD DPS/Hybrid AD AP to burst someone within those 3 seconds of Torment.

Or just AP (very, very fragile somewhat) and nuke using DFG and high AP.
