If the "sprint bug" (being able to continue to sprint after you hit zero stamina), is actually a built in feature, then they need to make stamina MORE useful because this defeats most of what stamina is all about.
Based on the general direction they seem to be going with each attribute, I would propose permanent armor. Say for every 4 pts invested you get 1 pt of permanent armor. Even at zero stamina, every point of armor will still negate 1 hit and armor will also greatly reduce stamina loss due to hits.
You can simply put a gray bar at the beginning of the stamina bar to represent the barding.
At lvl 20 you should get full leather barding visual and at 40, /chainplate barding.
This would give all those PvPers a reason to invest in at least some stamina as opposed to pure speed horses.
