This really falls to personal taste in the end. As far as dual wielding goes I can tell you a thing or two.

Skills: For dual wielding you want to use unstable flame in a medium weave as your primary means of damage. The rest of your skills should augment this attack pattern to intensify damage. Good candidates are Burning breath which can give your target major fracture to drop their armor, Flames of oblivion which increases your weapon crit, and igneous weapons which increases your weapon damage output. The 5th is up in the air, you can use an AoE like steel tornado, or throw in a different attack like rapid strikes.

Back Bar: You have 2 options, bow (more for PvP) or 2h (more for PvE). If you are using a bow you want to weave poison injection and augment it with flames of oblivion & igneous weapons. Also throw in the occasional volley for AoE. If you want to use a 2h then you need to weave executioner and augment it with rally & igneous weapons, also using flames of oblivion, and critical charge to close ground.
*The point in using 2h is to abuse executioner on tough targets or bosses. Use the DW to get the health down to 50%, then rip out the 2h and spam that executioner.

Armor & Weapons: You want to use a a combination of Hundings Rage (for the damage bonuses) and night mothers gaze (for the weapons crit & damage bonuses). Use the hundings rage armor set, and use a dagger and sword crafted for the night mothers set (dagger for crit and sword for damage, thanks to "twin blade and blunt")

Personally i abandoned the Stamina DK for a Magicka DK. From my experience the Magicka DK can deal better dps, but thats a different story.

Im no expert but I hope i helped a little at least.

I don't think dual wield and bow will work on a stam dk. A stam dk needs to use weapon skills to compensate for the lack of stamina class skills.

Lucy build is better than the other one, however if you want to have gear thats good for pve and pvp then you 100% need to sue hundings rage. Best in slot dps gear as well as very good in pvp.

Try a 2h/s+b build, your either going to be a wb spammer or a animatiob cancel light attack, ransack/heroic slash and bash do deal dmg.

Hey

thanks for the advice, I've already made my Vet 16 gear, it's 5/5 Hundings and 3-4/5 of Nightmothers (depending on weapon choice) gone for Dual wield and 2H, Gears all up as far as Epic/legendary and all completely glyhped with legendary glyphs

if I were to swap to a Magicka DK over a Stamina, what sort of skills/rotation would I use instead? AS post above, currently running DW and 2H
