I've been thinking of different combinations between sets and skills so that I can drop resto staff on my magicka NB.
With DW in main hand

Possibilities:
Whitestrakes + SnB. Slot Defensive posture and rely on whitestrakes shield. SnB grants another set slot to play around with

Mages Guild Balance + 2 HA (armor tree health recovery passive) + Immovable + tristat regen. Destro staff new slot. Use health recovery set.

Swallow Soul + Sap essence + Vamp with mist and Batswarm. Using mist to re position along with cloak and swallow soul in intervals. Delay for batswarm if down.

Leeching strikes + vamp + destro new slot + merciless resolve synergy. Weaving is a must, vamp to maneuver again. Not sure if it's just siphoning that doesn't proc on shields, so this one is iffier than all the other iffy ones already...

To be fair I have nothing against resto, but I'd like to change things up and explore.
