One arm and shield or bow for Breton nightblade tank?

So my main is a Breton NB "sort of" tank, I only say tank because I use heavy armor. I have exact same health and stamina, Idk if that would count to say stamblade, with a little magicka since the Breton passives help with that. Anyway, I've filled out both one arm and shield and bow skill lines and have morphed all the abilities. But now that I'm building the CP trees, I only want to focus on one of those. I have no problems questing, but this build feels a little lack luster since the only way I can heal during combat is siphoning, potions, draining shot on bow, and a few other abilities, and I'm more of a nuisance in pvp or pve than a threat. It takes a while to kill anything, and I can't heal fast during crunch time. I'm a little partial to the bow right now since I'm still low CP but want to know which built CP trees would be the best for this build. I'd appreciate any advice, especially from anyone with experience in this build.

✭✭✭✭✭- Tanks don't use bows. If you want to use a bow, don't be a tank. If you want to be a tank, don't use a bow.
- Nightblade tanks should be magicka tanks.
- Breton is an excellent race for a magicka nightblade tank.
- Your attribute points should be all in magicka. What little stamina you need, you'll get from tri-stat purple food and a few gear enchants.
- Sword-and-shield on both bars.
- Your primary means of healing will be Funnel Health, Sap Essence, and Refreshing Path. And it's a ton of self-healing.
