There is nothing rare about a nightblade healer. It's just harder(less intuitive) than a templar and provides less resource utility so you'll see less of it. Rare is an overstatement imo.

all heavy all magick DPS
A Nightblade who refuses to use any class skills. Bow only. All stats in Health.
Why Health? If you are long range just curious?
Because stam and magicka are more useful
I play Nord DK they are better off with straight Magika for DPS and about 10-20 pts on health for Tank 20-30 pts on magika
I have a build that I don't think anyone else would ever do: Imperial Dragon Knight, Magic Focus, 5/2 Heavy/Light, Destro Staff/Sword and Board, 5 Pieces Seducer/5 Pieces Soul Shine.
Kind of a Tankmage if anything.

I like my nord DK im mostly pouring pints into magic with 12 and 12 into health and stamina most will be in magicka.
I wish the nords had a better racial passive though.
Lol you said in your previous post you put all points in health?
I was being facetiousbut yeah, I like having extra health in case kiting goes south. Plus, I like a challenge.
In hindsight, its probably better to run full stam and medium armor. Oh well. This isn't a build meant for parties.

Also I made an all-stamina sorcerer tank which isn't that silly but it's no dragonknight tank, and i think two-handed and sword and shield is over-specialising a bit
My oddest race/build combo is a breton dragonknight tank, which isn't that odd (you get that unique spell resistance bonus) but i'm trying to make it a sort of magicka-oriented one to take advantage of the racials more
Magicka nightblade saptank.
Not really rare, though, but I still get lots of reactions along the lines of, "Nightblades can be tanks?!"
I absolutely love it, though. It started out as a gear-swap build that I added to my magicka nightblade dps/healer to experiment with tanking, but these days with the shortage of tanks, I'm in my tank suit 90% of the time. It's tons of fun to play: I have decent resource management and can dish out tons of damage (unbuffed spell power of over 1800; should be over 2000 once I switch from Whitestrake to Kagrenac for my tank set), and although I don't sport super-high resistances as a result, my self-healing keeps me alive.
