Khajit NB build advice?

I'm currently a VR1 Khajit nightblade. I leveled up using dual weapons, with a bow in the offhand, and specialized in assassination and shadow skills (and medium armor..and put a majority of my stat points into health, then magic, then stamina). Now, I'm reading that magic builds have been nerfed with the IC DC, so I switched to 2h and am working on leveling up Stamina and 2H build. Maybe it's because my 2h skills are so low, but I'm totally getting owned in Ebonheart doing the "Bit of Sport" quest (fight Nords drunk).

Any advice/preferences on the two builds, especially for survivability in Cyrodil? I'll go ahead and level up the skill line and weapon types, but I really had fun dual wielding and the slower swings of 2h is not the same to me. Can dual wields survive in PvP? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Magicka builds were not Nerfed,
    On the contrary they got a major boost,

    As a stamina NB you can do incredible burst damage or little less damage with more sustain,

    Choose your armour sets very carefully,

    I have all my attribute points into stamina,
    Put a few health glyphs on head, body and legs,

    Also use siphoning attacks for sustain,
    With dualwield and power extraction you should be owning mobs,
    I use that knife shield when killing mobs,

    Buffs up, Shield up, ambush into them, power extraction, steel tornado -> Get loot,
    next mob...

    Thanks, Johngo. I don't know what was supposedly nerfed with magicka builds. Saw it on sypherpk.com ("With the nerfs of the Imperial City update affecting the magicka Nightblade..."). Thought it confirmed when I ambushed a lvl 40ish lone DK in Cyrodil and did, like, NO damage in 5 or so attacks, and got my a$$ handed to me when he turned around. I know they supposedly equalize so lower levels can enjoy PvP, but THAT much??

    I'm going to go ahead and level the 2h up a bit, but I think the play style for dual is more fun for me. Maybe I'm just used to it.

    Any advice out there on armor for either build (Magicka or Stamina)? I can't afford any of the cool sets in Cyrodil, yet, but have a full Night's Silence set. I'm working on unlocking more traits to be able to craft Night Mother's Gaze, Shalidor's Curse, or Twice Born Star. Then I can do 5 NS pieces and 4 of any of the other sets
