No suggestions?

I just recently converted my Breton sorc into a WW pvp build utilizing 5 Pelinel's, 5 Leki's and 2 Engine Guardian. I got the idea from this thread here (almost all credit goes to @Gottbeard for his extensive testing and experience in this build). Really the main difference here is class and race selection, and of course skill selection varies to a reasonable extent considering class.

This setup puts my character at 25k armor / 30k spell resist outside of WW form (in WW it goes well above the resistance caps, which serves as a nice cushion against penetration). SD/WD is a little in surplus of 3.1k buffed outside of WW form. I'm not suggesting you go WW, but I wanted to emphasize how reasonable those stats are in a full-heavy setup even outside of WW form. Fury compliments Pelinel's fairly well too, particularly if you intend to go more tank and less damage.

I set up my bars like this:
Bar 1 (DW): Rune Prison, Hurricane, Vigor, Dark Deal, Blade Cloak | WW
Bar 2 (2H): Dizzying Swing, Shuffle, Crit Rush, Reverse Slice, Rally | DB of Smiting

I don't run super-high regen on this setup (it's about 1200) for two reasons:
1. Engine Guardian + Dark Deal is just fantastic
2. I use Orzorga's Bear Haunches

Tbh, if I were looking at this low regen without any prior experience with the setup I would sincerely believe that the recovery is far too low. However, I can't emphasize enough how amazing Dark Deal is and I rarely find myself unable to use it when I want/need to. I almost never run out of stamina, even in WW form.

I'd like to think that it would be very easy to give up WW and use something else, like DB of Smiting on front bar using 1H&S (lower weapon damage and overall resistances but the stacking WD component of Wrath) and Negate on back bar. Leki's can be traded out for a variety of sets, but the aoe damage reduction is quite nice I've found.

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or recommendations for a pvp sorc tank build? I haven't even made the character yet but my current idea is

Race: Breton

1h Shield Bar

Hurricane
Dark Deal
Pierce Armor
Harness Magicka
Restraining/Shattering Prison
Ult: Aggresive War Horn or Absorbtion Field

2h Bar

Stampede
Dizzying Swing
Reverse Slice
Rally
Trap Beast
Ult: Dawnbreaker

Armor wise I was thinking

5 piece Deaths Wind
2 piece Engine Guardian

But besides all this I'm not sure what else or if theres anythibg better. I've thought about maybe go vampire and use devouring swarm instead of absorbtion field but not too sure. Open to any suggestions but I would prefer to keep 1h and shield and 2h. But again would take any suggestions

Why would you use breton on a stam char?

Spell resist, reduced cost and max mag for dark deal, reduced cost mostly

If your on xbox & willing to try it I'll pass you 3pc divine storm knights set. Logically this is a sorc tank set & as scales best with sorc's should be combinable with hurricane for comparable damage in PvP while adding to your Breton spell resistance.

Go ahead m8 this was an idea at the time but If I end up creating him I'll probably change up a few things
