Its fine but Id use 3" strips less then that tends to break pretty easy when you screw it. Use reg Doroc screws and put it up 1 layer at a time. If your worried about strength use construction adheavsive or thin set between the layers
Yes, if you go back to previous posts on this subject by me you will find a link to Durock's instructions for building a wall shield. They recommend using Durcock strips. But make them wider, like 3-4". Durock is too crumbly in narrow strips. No need to use adhesive. I'd be a little concerned about the flammability of glues.
