DK tank

Hello everyone! I'm a DK tank, and I'm trying to figure out what setup/build is right for my DK tank, oh and also how much health, stamina, and magicka should he have? Thanks!

It all depends on your play style. There is no one build that will solve all your problems and will be infinitly better than other build but, that being said, if you want inspiration for a build then I'll link you mine. But I'll say the same to you as I do everyone else, you can copy it completely if you wish but for your own sake I encourage you to test out other possibility's to see what you like best and maybe you will find something that others didn't think of or something that fits your play style more. But there is no shame in using others build, its a good starting point and then you can use that to change things out and have a base which you can work from during your own build testing.

You didn't mention what is your focus, PVP or PVE, but this build was designed mostly for PVP i guess. But I'm currently using it for solo PVE on my way to V16, and it's completely fine.
I must add, that due to build's main focus is high heath regen, it would be better to use a Nord, but that's not very crucial, since you can just dump a ton of CP into health regen, with nord you just don't have to, it gives you 30% for free.

Completely agree with that sentiment! Thus for variety's sake here's what I use:

Engine GuardianX2/Armour MasterX5/Pariah SetX5.

While mostly anything works for solo PvE with the exception of the Maelstrom arena of course I would not recommend that build for any "endgame" PvE group content. It has way to low hp for a tank, tanking trial bosses or the IC dungeons would be extremely difficult if not impossible with that low hp, remember he is in cyrodiil in that vid which gives 5k extra so in PvE its even lower. But as ^ he said you never did say PvP or PvE I just usually assume PvE when people ask for tank set ups.

I have a dk tank I used to love it until the stam nerf. Tanking is still doable however it's become boring for me. I suggest building a stam dk it's much more fun.
