A build I threw together specifically for BG's and small group in Cyrodiil.
Sets-
7th Legion (5 Piece)- Heavy armor, B&B stamina build set. The proc gives some meaty damage and a nice little heal that gets stronger thanks to DK and heavy armor passives.
Bloodspawn- Another B&B Stam DK set. Love the ultimate gen, and the stamina regen is a great 1 piece bonus.
Witchman- One of my favorite designs for a set. Basically gives us back pre-nerf battle roar. I like to have a cheaper ultimate and one that's a bit more expensive thanks to how this set works. The 4 piece is great, giving us more health for tanking and some regen plus weapon damage on top of all this. It really helps with sustain and can put you back in the game if your ultimate is well-placed. I prefer to run 1 on the body, the jewelry, and then a weapon/shield on each bar. Love this set for DK's.

Jewelry- As previously mentioned, Witchman jewelry. I originally had 3 weapon damage glyphs in the video, but I've tried out 2 weapon damage and a regen glyph and I'm liking the extra regen way better.
'
Enchantments- On the armor; all stamina except for one. Health or magicka for an extra bit of resource pool, I prefer health because I like being tougher to kill. On the weapons; Crusher and decrease weapon damage on your dual wield. This is where the debuffing starts. When you may be low on stamina, or when you're just throwing heavy attacks, these enchantments proc and give some good enough debuffs considering they're more or less free. On the Sword and Board I'm currently running an increase weapon damage glyph but I think that's also subject to change.

Abilities/Bars-
Front bar with Sword and Board- Shielded Assault, Heroic Slash, Reverberating Bash, Resolving Vigor, Igneous Shield, Magma Shell.
Shielded Assault- B&B gap closer, I prefer this over invasion because I like the little damage shield but both morphs are good
Heroic Slash- Core up-front DPS. Not only does it hit hard but it applies more debuffs. Maim, snare, and then it gives us minor heroism, I strongly prefer this over Ransack/Pierce Armor but they do still work.
Reverberating Bash- A nice stun as well as a major defile, I like this a lot. You could still use fossilize since it isn't blockable/dodgable, but I prefer the healing debuff and oddly enough this ability hits surprisingly hard.
Vigor- B&B heal plus an ally can catch it, gotta have it.
Igneous Shield- Gives major mending and a damage shield. I like this morph more for the damage shield but the other morph is still really nice.
Back Bar with Dual Wield- Blood Craze, Noxious Breath, Hardened Armor, Flying Blade, Quick Cloak, Take Flight.
Blood Craze- Your basic, cheap bleed DoT. The heal on top is nice when you couple it with DK/Heavy Armor passives.
Noxious breath- Another DoT, another debuff. It gives major fracture, and it can snare, plus it's also a cone AoE. Really like using this one since it can cleave.
Hardened Armor- A big buff to your resistances plus a small damage shield on top. Wish it was a bit stronger but I find it to be more useful than the magic DoT from Volatile Armor.
Flying Blade- Either morph is good, but I like having the extra range and damage on this. Gotta have that major brute, the other morph works well for extra cleave.
Quick Cloak- Either morph works once again, but I'm liking the speed from this morph. It makes you a walking DoT and gives you speed, something that DK's sorely lack.
Take Flight- You know what this is.

Alternative sets- Ravager over 7th Legion works well. More weapon damage, gives max health over health regen.
Bone Pirate over Witchman. We all know what Bone Pirate is, I'm liking my Witchman but BP is of course quite applicable because it's BP lol.

Hope I didn't forget anything, just write me back if I forgot anything here in this write-up or in the video, hope you all enjoy

So where is you brutality and snare removal? Also the only real debuff you have is reverb

This doesn't seem like a support type debuff build like i thought it was going to be, more like a tanky/ brawler build.

You should atleast put on a 5 piece that helps your team to be a real debuffer or put more support skills like caltraps.

I was curious about Witchman, but never tried it.

Solid, just omitting 2h altogether.

It has become incredibly bad. Witchman is an interesting addition.

I like how you threw in BP at the end because it is an obvious set. Anything that can incorporate something in besides the standard, go to sets and still be successful is always a worthwhile addition.

This was my build for the longest time before Summerset dropped (I mainly did BGs). But I did s/b and 2h with witchman on the front bar only and backbar was masters 2h. The only ult worth using it on was leap because of the low cost and damage shield. The key was to use ig sheilds for the major mending right before leap, which added to the health gained back from witchman.

After Summerset this build seemed much weaker (or everyone else got much stronger). I might go back and play with it again. I'm still waiting for the Golden Vendor to sell gold witchman rings...
