Your Mag DK Playstyle

So I've been back to the game now for a month, left over a year ago.What type of builds are you guys running for group play in Cyrodill. I mostly PvP with my guild in a group in open world and Imp City.

Right now I've been playing around with S/B and Resto, with Skoria/ 5 Heavy Kag/5 Sun. I was using Vanguard's "Flame King" build. The other style would be double S/B with 2 piece Blood Spawn. I really don't know what style I like best. I do like the resto build for getting resources back and the Ult.

I'm just curious what others are running. As far as skills on the bar go, I'm good with that. My biggest struggle on the Dk is CP in the Mage Tree. This seems to be the tree that is all over the place when you see other builds on youtube, especially Thaumaturge as some say 75 and others say it's useless this patch.

So what set up's are you guys using or enjoy to use? Any any help with The Mage Tree would be great. With the "Flame King" build using the Skoria I've been running 75 Thaumaturge, but double S/B set up's I'm not as sure with when it comes to The Mage.

    Worth noting, the first build can put out pretty sick burst in 5 light and with skoria instead of 5 heavy and BS

    After coagulated dragon blood got buffed last year, I'd say resto staff is not really needed for self healing. Even before this buff, I was usually using destro + s&b for ganking or just running around in Cyrodiil. Now it has become much easier to heal. The heal morph of obsidian shard is also nice if you are solo, and it gives you stamina back as well through helping hands.
