  best setup ive had with stam dk is:
  
  VO (Vicious ophidian) x5, Night mothers gaze times 4 and 5 (bow + dual wield and 3 armor peices) then Vilidreth.
  
  As you dont really do trials you can go agility with weapon damage glyphs and vilidreth with hundings that could still work.
  
  Though I think best in slot is vilidreth, Two fanged snake and VO. I think. Not entirely sure on that one.
  
  If you do decide to run trials with it though TBS is still a decent starting set provided warhorn is up constantly and as long as you take the thief and shadow mundus.
  
  On top of all of that and general build you'll want to aim for 70% crit. 1 Axe 1 dagger is still best in slot i believe but again I cant be sure im on a mag class since homestead unfortunately in pve and pvp.
  
  
  As far as rotation and bars go if i remember right;
  
  Bar 1: Rending Slashes, Venemous Claw, Rapid Strikes ( your execute), Flames of oblivion (for the crit), rearming trap (for the crit damage nothing else) and then either flawless dawnbreaker or rend as your melee bar ultimate.
  
  Bar 2: Poison Inject, Noxious breath, Vigor, endless hail (you can use both volley and razor caltrops but its probably better to just run hail for dungeons) and igneous weapons.
  
  As for rotation ill probably mess this up a bit here its been a while but:
  
  rearming trap (reapply every 6 seconds) > Igneous weapons > endless hail > Noxious Breath > light bow attack > poison inject > Twin Slashes > venomous claw > Rapid Strikes x3 and rinse and repeat. certain dots run off a timer beyond the rotation so reapply when needed and if you wish to get the bleed off the axe then medium weaving it works well but I would try doing between 1 or 2 cycles of the rotation, seemed to work well for me but then not always i do have a tendancy to screw up my own rotation sometimes so, medium weave dual wield wherever you see fit until you find the rythem in your set up where you dont lose dps from doing so.
  
  How you choose to use your ults is really up to you but using standing on a war horn is disgustingly effective still.
  
  
  EDIT: Turns out Nord racial passives were changed, sorry about the bad info you do indeed have max stam as well which is great, i wont delete what i said that as it can still be used a form of reference and what ive said anyway is just suggestions nothing more :P
  
  Just a quick note though as you dont have max stam passives on nord you could try running hulking drauger jewlery and weapons with hundings to negate the loss of max stam from racial passives. I have never tested it though in pve but it might be a good idea especially considering its very difficult to raise your stam pool compared to mag players. Keep in mind though I would never run that for anything but dungeons.
  
  You do have regen though which is nice, expecially on a dk.
  
  Should bare one thing in mind, the build I put forward at the start is my original build from before homestead, I was managing 30k - 32k Dps a majority of the time, depending on the content however as resistances vary in some areas on some bosses of course also depends if you're pugging or running with a set group of people who actively run buffs and debuffs etc. However with the loss of crit on monster procs dps isnt that high anymore. Stam players have it slightly rough atm.
  
  Lastly, You can actually run double maelstrom daggers should only choose to run 3 piece of something i.e agility HOWEVER you will have to weave your poison dots a lot. I cannot remember how well this worked though, I heard mixed results from some, amazing results from others. I guess there is a middle ground somewhere.
  
  I hope some it or any of it helps remotely and even if you're stressing about racial passives dont worry about it! you can work around it not perfectly but its not catastrophic if you're not getting the same output as like a redgaurd or a imperial. Again, some of that info is outdated but if anyone wishes they can feel free to correct me.
