Best Build for Tank

I have a CP180 Templar Healer. I have also created a pretty ferocious DPS MagSorc and a decent Khajit NB for DPS as well. I have never played as a tank in any MMO. I was thinking of going Orc/Redguard/Breton Stam DK? Should the majority of AP be put into health and then use gear upgrades for Stam? I know I need the sword and board taunt but I am just not sure the best way to set up the character. I don't want to completely butcher the early stages and have a subpar Tank. I purely want a defensive tank that can just eat anything thrown at it. I play on doing a lot of crowd control once I have the right set up. Thanks!
