Siphoning Vampire Nightblade - Dunmer or Imperial?

Hi, I need your help =)

As title says, i'd like to play a Vampire Nightblade that is tanky (so heavy armor) and leech health most superior.

So for even more leech i would take dual wield (first weapon slot, for Blood Craze) and for tankiness one hand and shield. Entropy from the mages guild and Drain Essence from the vampire tree as well Devouring Swarm or Soul Siphon.

Heavy Armor for increased healing rate and life.

This two races have differences:

1) Dunmer is very nice for the magicka and stamina bonusses, and to weaken the incoming fire damage too.
2) Imperial have more health and stamina and have the passive Red Diamond. Imho, Red Diamond is not that good for other classes or speccs, but it's a nice addition for self heal I think ... but i don't really know how good it will complement this build. This is why I ask you =)

So what is the better choice in your opinion? Dunmer to lessen the Vampire weakness, or Imperial for even more self heal?

Thank you!

    I'm making the same type of character. I'll switch from healing to tanking. I picked Dunmer, though I thought about breton and argonian. Not end game yet.

    i would go with breton,

    Massive amounts of magicka and spell penetration,

    As a siphoning NB you do not need loads of stamina,

    It's helpful if you use a S&B to tank and 1% magicka isn't going to break a build. Also breton don't get spell penetration.

    I used to be a vamp but specced out once you had to keep an ability on the bar it simply hurts build flexibility.
