I've heard, seen, and researched that magblades are the go-to (at least for Nightblades) for solo'ing group content. I've heard their sustain is insane as is their DPS.
However, after respeccing, using guides, and trying to get half-decent gear (not amazing but not terrible either) I can barely survive a small group much less anything bigger. I'm far too squishy and my sustain is non-existent.
I am getting really frustrated at this and I don't know what I am doing wrong...
Front Bar (Lightning Staff): Swallow Soul, Debilitate, Impale, Siphoning Strikes, Inner Light, Meteor
Back Bar (Flame Staff): Sap Essence, Flame Blockade, Twisting Path, Grim Focus, Annulment, Soul Harvest
As I understand it, the rotation (along with weaving to sustain Magicka via Siphon Strikes) is: Grim Focus, Siphoning Strikes, Twisting Path, Flame Blockade, Debilitate on everyone, spam Swallow Soul and then execute with Impale.
Annulment is used as an 'oh ***' button I think along with Sap Essence.
However the healing from Sap Essence/Swallow Soul is pathetically low, even with putting all my points into Magicka. Combine that with the fact that I can barely put out 6-7k DPS on one target and if I am lucky, 15k on a group of enemies (3-5 at most, any more and I die even with healing)
Please help. I want to understand Magblades but right now it's making me want to quit the game a second time with how frustrating it is!

I've had sets, they don't do much for survivability, and I put all my points into Magicka for extra damage. What more can I do?0
