Looking for a build... DK

Geekgirl

Hey folks. I'm looking for advice for a build that I ran across the other day.

I know nothing about it other than that it was a DK and the tank had queued for Tank and was, indeed, tanking.

We were in one of the DLC dungeons and had gone through a couple of people because they'd port in, see what it was and nope out. I want to say it was the Minotaur one.

At any rate, the DK's player could very easily have one-manned that dungeon.

Typically I'm not very wowed by these antics as they happen a lot (particularly in non DLC dungeons) but what got me was that he very reliably was doing everything. He was able to pull and hold aggro while dealing out major damage and healing himself though everything.

And I got to thinking about what a sincerely kick-butt solo play character that would be. Most of my playtime is solo and this seems like the perfect do-everything build. It helps, probably, that I like DKs in general.

He was able to one-man long fights while maintaining enough sustain to not drop health hardly at all; He was able to solo dps down boss-level mobs; He was able to maintain an almost full health pool while doing so.

He was not argonian, khajiit or any of the elvish races, but I can't say if he were Breton, Redguard, Nord or Imperial.

The only think I know for certain is that he was a DK.

If anyone has any ideas as to what kind of build this might be, I'd be appreciative.

Sounds like a Redguard or Imperial and probably a boom tank. Here's an example:

There are several versions, but most rely on a hybrid of armor and traits. Some call them "selfish" tanks as they don't provide group buffs but instead focus on self-healing. They can be very effective in dungeons but don't work so well in trials.
