Bloodbite increases bleed resistance, which does not affect how much build-up you take. The way bleed works in Dark Souls III (as well as the first one, but not II) is that bleed damage, or build-up, must exceed the target's bleed resistance. Think of it like a separate HP bar that is only affected by bleed and that results in a damage burst when it hits zero, rather than death.
