  As a redguard you have amazing stamina based passives so you want to stack your stamina to increase your damage on stamina abilitys that I would recommend sticking to because the redguard passives synergise well with stamina based dps.
  
  Also consider some medium armor either switching to 5 med 2 heavy as the passives help a lot with Stam dps or sticking with mainly heavy and wearing 2 med for a slight boost to sustain and a more tanks feel.
  
  If you go this route you choices for second weapon are 2h, dual wield or bow each with its own pros and cons a quick explanation is:
  
  2h
  Pros - high single target dps with uppercut and its morphs specifically wreking blow. Gap closer. Momentum for heals and 20% weapon damage buff
  
  Cons - not the best aoe attacks. No ranged abilitys
  
  Dual wield
  Pros - steel tornado is a really good aoe. Hidden dagger adds a range attack and 20% damage buff
  
  Cons - no stamina based heal. No real gap closer. No real execute
  
  Bow
  Pros - ranged dps. Lots of poison based effects including healing debuff. Decent aoe attacks. Snipe can hit really hard
  
  Cons - no 20% damage buff. No real execute. No stamina based heal
  
  Obviously it not that simple but it's a good place to begin maybe try them all and see what you like feel of.
  
  Your class and world abilitys can fill in gaps that weapons have such as toppling charge for gap close. Rushed ceremony/breath of life or vigor (pvp assault tree) for heals.

  Don't be afraid to have moves on your bar that cost magicka as its a whole resource pool going to waste if you don't. Rushed ceremony and its morphs for example is a great oh **** button even if your not magic based. Especially if it's the only move that costs magicka on your bar you can empty your whole pool getting back to full health. Sun shield is another nice panic button if you go the tankier route as it scales off health and that will use your magicka pool. If you need a gap closer toppling charge is great sure it's damage will not be massive but it gets you to your target quickly.
  
  Edit: p.s I recently rolled a redguard Templar and I choose 5 med armor 2 heavy and sword and shield + dual wield my reasoning was I have most bases covered over my class abilitys and then two weapons
  
  Gap closer - shield charge
  Heals - rushed ceremony morphed to BoL
  AoE - steel tornado and jabs
  Healing debuff - reverberating bash
  Ranged - flying dagger and binding javelin
  Projectile defence - defensive stance
  
  I'm missing a stamina based execute but I'm hoping radiant oppression will work as my magicka usually full so should do decent damage.
