"Basically, i'm forcing user to keep away from using 'Closed' Status resolution and push them to use the 'Resolved' status upon closing a ticket."
First off, couldn't you use an active link that changes to Resolved if Closed is selected? If you go with a filter I would suggest using ('DB.Status' != 'Status') AND ('Status' = 'Closed") This is doing the same thing as described below but IMHO is cleaner. Also if you added a status value later you would not have to go back and update this filter.
