[Theorycrafting] Clever Alchemist Build

Looking for some input on a potential build before I pour the mats/time/gold into set pieces.

The basic premise or theme is to emulate the Berserk power Orcs have in previous TES games by using procs from Clever Alchemist and Molag Kena to push weapon damage and basically go "Berserk" to burst down enemies while remaining tanky enough to keep alive in extended fights. While I'm more interested in trying a unique playstyle, it would also help if I had some input as to the viability of such a build in PvP/PvE. The gear layout I'm thinking of:

5pc Heavy
1pc Medium
1pc Light
-For Undaunted Passive-

Molag Kena Head and Shoulders - Overkill procs for ~500 bonus damage for 6 seconds. Health Enchants

Clever Alchemist 5pc - drink potions to proc ~600 bonus damage for 15 seconds. Without potion CD stuff that's got a 30 second downtime while potions recharge. (45s potion - 15 uptime = 30s)

Thinking 5pc Knightmare w/jewelry for added resist/hp, weapon damage, and 20% chance to apply Maim. Bit of extra survive + debuffs for enemies/enemy players.
Might also run 5pc Footman's with Jewelry instead, though, to sacrifice a bit of wep damage for extra resists and reduced block cost.

Anyone have any thoughts on this build?

Not sure if relevant, playing an Orc Stam Sorc.

    You won't have the slightest sustain with this build outside of Dark Deal. CCs+Root and you are done.

    Glass canon build . Like stated above , no sustain . Burn magic too fast relying on healing passives from heavy to bump heals but offence will drain you fast .

    Try Black Rose if it comes in jewellery in 1T with kena and clever alchemist. That will help with sustain (somewhat). Heals you can get from crit surge and dots (or a high crit rating and hitting 1x per sec). Also if the pots you use are stamina and savagery that will help.

    Apparently (and I've actually seen this build before, completely forgot about it) @FENGRUSH has already done something similar with his Supernaut build. It's along the lines I'm looking for, though I may make some tweaks and see how it goes.
