1) Is Puncturing Sweep a physical attack and a channeling one?

2) What skill or passive adsorbs 25% damage while casting or channeling a spell? Not able to find it(((((

    As far as I recall, the only passive I seem to remember that reduces damage while channeling, only applies to the Restoring Light Ultimate... and the effect it gives is increasing armor and spell resistance.

    And puncturing sweep is a channel attack...right? So, the PvP set will help Templar to take less damage while channeling Puncturing Sweep. IMHO...

    Somewhat, yes. It does force you into reinforced armor trait though which is downright horrible for light armor; you lose impenetrable on at least 2 items if you pick the rings. Effectively, what you will gain in defense due to the channeling bonus, you will lose due to not having impenetrable, and the loss is permanent while the bonus is situational.

    TL; DR: Don't do it, it's a nice idea but absolutely not worth it.

    What is impenetrable?

    Most people in PvP stack critical chance. Impenetrable is an armor trait that gives you crit resistance, countering the stacked crit chance. It's useless for PvE but a must-have (at least on few pieces) for PvP, to the point where you'll almost definitely get better survivability with impenetrable than with infused+health or the Light of Cyrodiil set.
