Need help with Stamina DK

Hello everyone,

I'd like to set up an very tanky pvp DK. He needs to be very tanky, kind of unkillable, very sustain. Any idea?

My plan is:
- race Argonian
- monster set: bloodspawn? troll king?
- 7th legion? not sure if it is going to work
- hulk? dragon guard? or werewolf hide?
- traits: all sturdy?
- Glyph: shielding?

Run 1h&s on front and 2h on back.

Do I need any magic recovery to spam Igneous Shield for 1k stamina recover? Do I need to spam Vigor for healing?

Is health recovery build working atm? If I do something like trollking + beekeeper + Orgnum to boost my health recovery with sturdy traits and shielding glyph, is it gonna work?

Sorry, I know I have too many question. I am very struggling with pvp now as I am not living in US, I usually have about 300ms pin, sometimes even 400-500ms. I found it is hard to touch people by doing melee attack, I have to chase people up, guess where they are moving towards and then face towards that direction by assuming that people will probably/potentially move to that location 300ms later.

Please help. I am not looking for a cancer build. Only a tanky pvp DK can sustain with almost 3-5 enemies.

Thank you for your time.

    I use two blood spawn five werewolf and five seventh legion currently. Just because of the shield ulti cost I run were wolf. Hulk works too. Or barkskin.

    Yes, this is what I am wearing now. But I don't know if I need full sturdy or impren. Do I get healing all from vigor and potion? is this sustain enough?

    Anyway, thank you for your suggestion.

    If you play cp campaign go full impen. Maybe a couple of sturdy, but you want to be close to 2-2.5k crit resist (impregnable armor could do the job). In no cp campaign sturdy is a good choice, so if you block a lot go for it.

    Have fun with the weakest stamina class in the game!

    I'd go full impen. Run lingering health pots to help with healing.

    Cool, thank you guys.
    I had viewed lots of unkillable video on youtube. Nearly all of them are permblock build, so based on that I think full sturdy is much more tanky than impre. I tried 6 pieces sturdy and full shielding glyphs, it can reduce stamina cost to quite little. But I feel that I will still die very quickly with only two opponents, I didn't use any healing skill and potion during the test. I got nearly 2k damage per second from a high level stamina dk. I can imagine I could die instantly with 3 opponents. Well, with healing skill like vigor and potion, I probably can survive with only 2 opponents. But this is much weaker than the video shows on YouTube. Am I doing something wrong or the block mitigation formula has been changed?

    I have only been played this game for half year. There are lots of things I could never heard about. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Thank you.

    Don't do full sturdy. One fear and your dead. I'm honestly thinking of going back to reactive. The only time I feel dangered on my DK is vs nightblade s. And with the lack of burst heal their defile plus fear is tough. Reactive hard counters that

    Yeah you are right. I forgot fear can't be blocked. So how the guys in video successfully survived with many opponents? Just because no one fear him? Or he is using cc immunity potion?

    Because no one fears them or the immunity potion.

    I have half sturdy, half impen and don't die after getting feared. I CC break the second I lose control of my character. I only die when I run out of resources(out numbered, poisoned, zerged etc) or get out played.
