Gear suggestions for a PvE DK Tank?

I decided to create a PvE toon again by switching my Magicka DK to a tank. I want to start doing trials as well, starting with normal trials and working up. So what is this best gear setup for a DK Tank for PvE and future trials? Also what do you look for in a Tank for a Trial Setting? I have 7 traits researched and level 50 in Blacksmithing, clothing and woodworking. CP is around 341 right now but have been grinding more on my stamplar. I was thinking about going for the classic Ulti-regen build using 5 Tavas and 2 block spawn but what should I run with the other 5 slots (Jewelry and double Sword and Board)? Potentates? Endurance? Shalk? I was leaning towards 3 Potentates, 2 Endurance but I'm curious what everyone has to say. Thanks everyone for your feedback!

    Ok not so lazy :3 To answer your question, you have a few options depending on what trial you're tackling and what the other tank (if there's one) is wearing.

    Here are a few options:
    • Alkosh
    • Ebon
    • Akaviri Dragonguard
    • Powerful Assault (IC set)

    I would recommend having Ebon as a starter, the extra health for everyone can make a difference between death and life more often than not.
