Which sets with Shared Pain?

I like the concept of Shared Pain set and was wandering what other sets would be good in combination with it in pvp?
I am not god in pvp, and I am more of like stationary playstile in the back. Also more tanky.
I was thinking maybe Share Pain + Leeching Plate, or SP + Radiant Bation... Not sure is there anything better?
What would be a good combo for my playstyle? Not looking to be pro, just to proc something fun and have "my kind of fun" :D

    Considering the damage of Shared Pain is too low to be meaningful, you'd have to lean into it hard with something like Draugrkin or Dragon's Appetite.

    Even then I don't think the SP damage would be that threatening but Draugr and DA are great sets to build around otherwise.

    I tried SP with Radiant Bastion but RB is hot garbage, do not recommend.

    Thank you. Those are both great sets for what I want with this build.
    I am not trying to be threatening, but annoying :D
    Because I am annoyed with all those dots and procs that dot, so I want all of those players to share the pain with me (love the name :D).
    I know that RB is garbage, and Leeching plate is stationary so they are not that good options.
    But, I just like the idea of getting like 10+ dots on me and reflect some of that damage on enemy :D I just love those kinds of builds.

    I run full dot spec OW Draugrkin DK, the thing that'll beat me 1v1 is another pressure build that can outrace me because I'm tuned for OW, or a good offensive Plar player. I don't think I've ever run into Shared Pain and a lot of my damage is still coded as "direct" by the game. So if you wanna mess up my day, I recommend getting gud at Plar.

    Shared Pain also makes you half naked against MagSorcs, probably not a great meta call right now.

    This exactly. I don't run dots anymore, though. For me, it's all about the instant damage status effects. But the strategy is the same - try to overwhelm them with high volume of small attacks over a few seconds. High-pressure templars ruin my day as well. Because they can keep pace with my pressure and have far better survival.

    If my targets were merely doing reactive damage that couldn't come close to keeping pace with my own then it would end badly for them i.e. a set that bites back upon taking damage but the bite is much weaker and far less frequent than the original damage.
