I thought this was fairly standard, barring good reads on villain's post- flop play.
Your AA example is not the same thing. In that example, a 3bet is never for value, since I am never ahead of his calling range. Yet by 3betting wide, I' m getting lots and lots of better hands to fold, so it is a good bluff. In the OP's example, I' m not sure he could get any better hands to fold, so it is likely not a good bluff.
That's way too passive. You're only gonna be betting a small value range and leave a lot on the table. You're also going to get outdrawn a lot, and see action killers. You're gonna show your hand a needless lot. Your passive play will make it more obvious when you have a strong hand and try to get value. I could go on..
