Help Setting up a PVE/Leveling DK

Hi I have a V3 DK and I am trying to figure out a good build for leveling and survivability. I do not know if I should be set up as a Tanker player or lean more towards DPS. I am currently set up as a mage which is having mixed results. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    I'm most experienced as a DK tank, so in case you choose to go down that path, I'll gladly provide tips for it:

    For lvling, I used s&b/resto in all heavy. I wore 5pc Hist Bark/3-4pc seducer/random arcane-enchanted jewelry pieces (random jewelry until I could get to v14 where I'd have much better gear). I focused quite a bit into both magicka and health, with a little into stam. Now that my DK is v14, I'm successfully using the following setup:

    Sabatons - v14 - Seducer - Reinforced - Magicka
    Girdle - v13 - Footman - Exploration - Health
    Cuirass - v14 - Seducer - Reinforced - Health
    Helm - v14 - Seducer - Reinforced - Stam
    Pauldrons - v14 - Seducer - Reinforced - Magicka
    Gauntlets - v13 - Footman - Divines - Magicka
    Greaves - v14 - Seducer - Reinforced - Magicka
    Mace - v14 - Hist Bark - Defending - Disease
    Shield - v14 - Hist Bark - Reinforced - Stam
    Resto - v14 - Seducer - Infused - Absorb Magicka
    Necklace - v13 - Footman - Reduce spell cost
    Ring 1 - v14 - Footman - Reduce spell cost
    Ring 2 - v14 - Footman - Reduce spell cost

    All armor/weapons/jewelry/enchants purple.
    Mage mundus stone.
    v10 trifood.
    Attributes: 0 Magicka/(can't remember, but what isn't put into Stam goes here) Health/20 Stam.
    Dunmer.
    Werewolf.
    All DK, s&b, resto, heavy, soul magic, fighters guild, undaunted (only have 1 unlocked atm), and racial passives.

    s&b bar: Gdb, Absorb Magic, Choking Talons, Hardened Armor, Pierce Armor, Corrosive Armor ult.
    Resto bar: Gdb, Extended Chains, Caltrops, Mutagen/Inner Fire (note: I keep this at its base skill so it stays Magicka), Igneous Shield, Standard of Might ult.


    Hope this helps (even just a little). Enjoy.

    This should work like a charm for your mage DK

    If you still struggle to survive with this, exchange Engulfing Flames with green dragon blood. For me, this works perfectly for Solo.

    Get 5xSeducer, rest whatever and you are good to go.
