I really need help with my build!

Dark_in_a_box

I have just finished levelling my Magicka Dragonknight to champ and i'm having a really bad time with resource management. Any advice regarding magicka dragonknights would be much appreciated as i am a noob. I currently have 550 champion points and my build is as followed:

5 heavy kagrenacs hope in purple w/ magicka enchants
2 light valkyn skoria with impen on shoulder and infused on hat
1h/s of magnus
random resto staff
3 willpower (All Spell damage)

Currently sitting on
36k magicka
1.3k recovery
2222 spell damage buffed

My skill set up is

1h/s - Burning Talons, Flame Lash, Deep Breath, Molten Armaments, Invigorating Drain and Standard of Might

Resto - Healing Ward, Coagulating Blood, Igneous Shield, Elusive Mist, Volatile Armour and Devouring Swarm

Any tips on what i should change to make my magicka last longer than 2 whips? Thank you in advance

mDK skills are expensive af. How much cost reduction did you allocate in your CP? I never go full spell damage on my builds - always leave one for regen or cost reduction. You're not a Nightblade with infinite sustain.
Swap Molten Armaments for entropy. It's far cheaper and a lot more useful than armaments.

Are you using the atronach mundus? If you're having troubles try switching your food to something like Orzorgas Red Frothgar (Max Health + Magicka regen).
Personally, if I'm running heavy I still like my Seducer, so I rarely run into sustain problems, and I'll make up for the lack of damage with Burning Spellweave on the jewellery and S+B. Silks of the Sun is fine too. I think my whip costs about 1,700 magicka in heavy, and that's pretty nice. Basically if you have low regen, you want high cost reduction.

At the moment i have 100 cp into magician, i plan on using entropy instead in the future however i'm too lazy to grind mages guild again lol. I use tri stat foods at the moment as i find myself needing to cc break often, i could swap one of my glyphs out for a reduce cost though. Thank you for your input

I like the seducers suggestion as it's what I used when I played heavy armour magicka builds. You could do five heavy seducers with five silks of the sun two skoria. Or as also suggested, just get a bit more cost reduction.

There is also a new food for health, magicka, magicka regen you could try. Of course this may mess with your stam usage if you aren't comfortable managing a lower pool.

I could try heavy seducers, however, i rarely run trials and am quite poor at the moment so silks of the sun isnt really viable as of now. Thank you for you're advice

For the sun set it's changed with one tamriel. You can farm it in stonefalls !
