I was leveling a Nord Templar Stamina tank prior to DB. Now I have to redistribute my CP and with this new patch Stamina recovery, cost reduction and block cost reduction are all in the same tree.
How do you recommend a new distribution? Maybe focus on block cost reduction due to repentance helping in recovery?
And where should i put the points in the red tree that used to be block reduction cost?

I have a few things to share that may be of some benefit. I'm assuming you are at the CP cap, so if that's not true, you may have to adjust accordingly until you get to that point.

To answer your immediate question, I recommend allocating 40-50 points into Shadow Ward (reduced block cost).

As a tank, stamina recovery is highly situational, and in most cases forgone. The reasons for this is that you recover no stamina while blocking, and you want to be blocking the majority of what comes your way. As such, you reap higher benefits by investing your excess CP into reduced magicka and stamina costs, weighting more heavily whichever of the two you use most in your build. Feel free to balance between Magician, Warlord, and Shadow Ward as you see fit, but I advise putting the vast majority of points into these three. A few points in other stars here and there is okay.

As far as your Warrior points (red) go, the vast majority should go into Hardy, Elemental Defender, and Thick Skinned. I always recommend a handful of points into Quick Recovery, but no more than 10-20. Hardy should have roughly twice as many points as Elemental Defender and Thick Skinned, but again, there is some flexibility here given your preference.
