PvP Stam DK Weapon

Looking to all those Stam DK's or melee based players out there for any advice regarding weapons and skill for PvP. I have a decent amount of experience in PvP so looking for the 'moderate-advanced' level of advice!
With Cyrodiil being laggy as all hell I come up against an issue. We all know Stam DK needs WB as a major damage dealer. However with the crazy lag my dude winds up for about 3 seconds causing me to miss 7/10 times or the animation is canceled because the opponent moved. This is especially true in large fights where staying in one spot more than a couple seconds gets you killed.
I end up relying on Sword and Board to deal damage because I can actually make consistent contact with my opponent! All well and good but against any player with experience, especially a 1v1 situation, they can usually heal through the damage. On Xbox it is difficult to pull off the Pierce Armor-Light Attack-Bash animation cancel combo. So once I get my opponent down to 25% I have to switch bars and try to get them with Executioner. Once again a skill player can heal so dang quickly this only works a portion of the time. I try to root them but you can still heal rooted...and move which is weird.
I have tried so many different combinations of skills. It's almost like without WB I cannot deal enough damage to kill a Sorc and Templar. Basically Leap is my execute. Ideally I would like to have skills I can rely on which don't need a 'building up' of ultimate. My weapon damage is between 3k-3.7k. S/B it's 3.2k (yay Leki shield!). Getting much better at long attrition type fights but to be honest I lose more than I win because I have trouble finishing the guy off when he is below 20%.
Any of you Stam DK's out there find a decent combination of skills that is more consistent than WB/Executioner? I've tried Bow/2H and all the other combo's but always fall back to 2H/S&B. I might try Brawler from the 2H line but not a big damage dealer. Freaking DK skills just cause no gd damage!!!
Hell it might be worth 6k to put 100 into Elemental Expert and go S&B using Burning Breath->Burning Embers->Heroic Slash->Leap.

AverageJo3Gam3r✭✭✭✭✭Petrify. Petrify is how you land a WB. Even if they're fast on the CC break they're still rooted. I use a combination of stampede and unstable flame with light attack weaves. This keeps up decent pressure until I find an opening. Usually when theyre around 75% health, I'll use petrify, WB, leap. That usually finishes them off. I don't have room for execute on my bar, but I usually don't miss it.
The key to killing a Templar is reverberating bash to debuff their heals.
It's hard to kill a good sorc because they'll streak away. Don't pursue. Count that as a win and go about your day.0
