DK finisher skill?

I'm having a lot of fun playing my magicka DK. However, in PvP I feel I'm missing a finisher skill. Looking at the class skills there doesn't seem to be one. That doesn't seem right so I figure I'm missing something, probably something obvious. For weapons I'm running DD/Restro since I seem to better in a support role then a fighting one.

    O
    Molten Weapons..

    I've tried that and was disappointed with it. As a magicka build my weapon attacks are pathetic. Plus it's not really a finisher skill. To be a real finisher it needs a bonus to damage against weakened opponents.

    Molten Weapons reeeeeally needs to be changed, as full heavy attacks are something you don't want to use unless you need to regen resources in theory. Abilities do much more DPS and to top it all off, it only lasts 8 seconds before you need to waste more resources on it.
    I have departed into the great unknown that is outside the game and the forums, and wish you well in your Tamriel adventures!

    They should just make Lava Whip our executioner skill. Oh and give it a stamina morph.

    I'm just saying, its the only "execute" that Dragonknights have. And yes, it does do bonus damage against weakened units.

    Yeah that is also pretty lame. I go to finish off my opponent they block and stun me. Pretty ***

    Not according to the tooltip. Or does one of the morphs add that ability?

    Ah, ok. Maybe it is the morph then. Heavy attacks do x damage against enemies under x percent health.

    OK, it's the morph, Molten Armaments. Still, it's a terrible "execute" because it takes so long to cast/use it your target will be out of range or healed and quite possibly be able to counter it. Every other class has much better finishers. I think I'll keep my DK as a support build in PvP. I'm not blowing 20% of my magicka to expose myself to being stunned for a limp noodle amount of damage.
