Healthblade, viable?

I was messing with my alt and I decided to set him up weird. Do you think a health based 7/7 heavy armor Night Blade is viable in Cyrodiil?

I don't have any extra proc sets for him so I went 5 Black Rose, 5 Cloak of the Vampire and double Fasallas sword and board. I'm at 46k health with nothing of substance unlocked (leveled him in Old Orsinium a few months ago). Anyway, despite 1000 or so hours in Cyrodiil I've never played a health sponge before and certainly not on a Nightblade. Any tips or ideas would be appreciated.

    Hes talking about a maximum health build for cryodill like a sun shield templar but on a nb. Utalizing leeching strikes and vamp drain kinda deal.

    You get 3% health per shadow skill slotted, so in theory you could create a mean max health build.

    Nightblade just doesnt have anything that would allow them to kill like a sun shield templar. You would have to relie on fasallas and proc sets to do anything to your enemy.

    I once tried 5* plague docter and 5* greenpact. I had 60k health in cyrodill. 2 guys could hammer me but with invigurous drain I had my health back in no time. Drawback was I had totally no damage to deal and when another guy arrived I could not stand against 3 in the end.

    I tried this setup once for doing dungeons as a tank, and although I was tanking very well (even stood in deadroth boss fire puddles in banished cells as a vampire and still not dying) the suggestions i got was I had to do more dps and debuff. But I the end it was not the type of build I like to play. So I am back to full light armor.

    For cyrodill you should have fun using S&B with spell reflect using fear etc. I would put more points into magicka so you should have around 35-40k health and decent magicka to fear cast cripple and vampire cloak for when things get out of hand.

    I might even try more with this setup, but first I want to enjoy my destro staff ultimate to take revenge for the many times I died to that.
