Evasive Stamina Fighter Build (PVP)

So I kinda found this build while experimenting and have been very impressed with it for the last week, i have also been able to go 1v1 with DKs and win most of the time. I thought i would share it.
I am a V12 Medium Armor NB with Bow / DW
My primary build is a full stamina sniper archer 2420stam, 3000hps, 1560 mag (with V5 food). Yes I am one of those archers that plinks you with 1500-2000 damage Sneak Attack Lethal Arrows...
I was trying to find a weapon swap that would be effective agianst those that jumped on me in melee. With lower magika the idea was to use skills that effectivness wasnt changed by higher magika and spell damage since i was really lacking that.
So I decided to stick with DW and Blinding Strikes (flurry morph). Remember i have 2420 stamina and 228 weapon skill so this ability hits really really hard. its not uncommon to see crits and the small hits add up for over 1000 and the last big hit to do 1000. With my stamina and 127 stamina regain I can do alot of these Flurry chains and rarely run out of stamina. Also remember that most people wear light armor and are vulnerable to physical damage.
Skill wise:
(1) Blinding Strikes (main attack)
(2) Medium Armor Evasion Skill 22% dodge
(3) Blur 15% miss chance.
(4) Dark Shades (15%) enemy damage debuff)
(5) Aspect of Fear
(6) Soul Tether Ultmate
With Evasion (22%) and Blur (15%) up it feels like it is much more effective, I swear more than 50% of attacks miss me. The Dark Shades 15% debuff is also nice but the 2 shades are also very effective at sapping away alot of a blocking targets stamina. Combine this with Blinding Strikes which also sap away alot of the targets stamina with each strike from the flurry. Aspect of Fear is a very good utility, It has a higher magika cost so i have to be very careful with its uses and timing. It causes the target to run for 4.5 seconds. In that time i can do 2 flurries from behind and kill just about anyone. if they CC break... Well they lost half their stamina and wont be able to block much. It is also a good counter to Bat Swarm as it makes the swarm run away. Soul Tether needs no explanation as everyone knows it is a powerful NB ultimate with stun and a life leach, but it also gives me that 1 skill from that class tree and a 8% magika bonus. Soul Tether is also based off of weapon skill (228) now and it dwelves very high for me
Most people would have thought it was a crazy to run a zero magika melee build..... but it actually works and is fun and i find my self putting my bow away and running in with melee alot. My only issue is no gap closer, but my design is for when people come to me as my main offense is Bow from a distance. But when sneaking i can be rdy with DW and buffs up when i find someone.
Now i am a NB but i am sure this build would work for every class, I know DKs have defensive abilities they could throw up in place of Blur and Shades.

Appreciate you sharing - I'm interested in what you have set up, exactly, to get 2420stam / 3000hp / 127 stam regen. 49 points into HP (735+), all 7 infused trait @ legendary (20%) with a split of stam/hp enchants??? And you don't mention your race, so maybe some racial bonuses going on (imperial??). And no mention of mundus stone, possibly Tower or Lord?? And are you including the standard +500HP PvP Cyrodiil bonus in your HP value above? What set bonuses do you use? And I'm assuming you are using +257 purp food, correct?? Are you running any spells/effects on your 2 bar such as focused attacks for 40% increased stam regen???Stands-Strong-As-Snow ~ Argonian Templar DC NA V14

Yes, it is with V5 purple food and the 500hps Cyrodiil bonus. No extra scroll bonuses or Emperor. I currently just switched sets with this template, I just crafted it to purple because i didnt want to waste my gold updrades since we are goin to v14 soon. So currently i am in a mix of purple and gold gear so the stats would go up with all gold.
My stamina regain did go down with the set change, 127 was my old stat and I forgot, sorry for the wrong information. These are my exact current stats with puple/gold mix.
In DW 2950health, 2420stamina, 106 stamina recovery 1560magika, 49%Wcrit, 225 weapon damage. 1920spell resist, 1950 armor.
With Bow 2860health, 44%Wcrit, 208 weapon damage. And 5% Hawk Eye set damage as well as 13% damage from Flawless Dawnbreaker.
***EDIT***chest, helm and legs are +hps, rest is stamina
Hawk Eye Set (2 rings 600armor and 600 spell resist), chest, shoulder, helm. (3 pieces have sprint cost reduction trait which is the downside )
Hunding's Rage Set 4 armor pieces + Bow and a dagger. (crit resist traits for 40%)
V12 purp Ophidian neclace, 81stam, 13 weapon damage.
I move my attributes around to keep 2420 stamina. currently 27 stamina, 22 health.
Shadow Mundus for crit damage.
DW
Blinding Flurry, Evasion-Elude, Blur-Mirage, Dark Shades, Mass Hysteria, Soul Tether
Bow
Lethal Arrow, Poison Injection, Cripling Grasp, Dark Cloak, Incapacitate (luv 7th attack immobolize) and Flawless Dawnbreaker
Also i am a Bosmer
