Nightblade Off-tank PvP build (theory)

So I have been trying to come up with like a Stamina Nightblade build but not like the standard glass cannon but more of like a "Shadow Knight" type. Running 2h front bar and SnS back bar with 5 piece heavy and 2 medium. I haven't thought of any gear sets yet, only skills to use.

Two-Handed.
Suprise Attack, Ambush, Mass Hysteria, Executioner, Forward Momentum and Dawn Breaker of Smiting.

Sword and Shield.
Shadowy Disguise, Relentless Focus, Leeching Strike, Mirage, Resolving Vigor and Spell Wall.

Now I have never played a Stamina Nightblade before. I am getting tired of the DK and Templar off-tank builds and I thought I could try to make a Nightblade one. If anyone plays a Stamina Nightblade does this sound like a good skill set up for non-vet PvP or vet PvP as well.

    If you want to be a tank, drop ambush and shadowy disquise. You don't need them. Switch disquise to refreshing path and ambush for taunting skill or bone wall

    Instead of Mirage, i'd use Shuffle (Stamina version)

    I'd drop Dawnbreaker and switch it to veil of blades (shadow ulti)


    But if you want to be heavy armor dps, instead of tank, then your skills looks decent.
    NB enthusiastic:
    1. Woodhippie stamblade - DW hard-hitter / PvE
    2. Know-it-all elf Magblade - Healer / PvE & PvP
    3. Hate-them-all elf Magblade - Destrostaff AoE monster / PvE
    4. Cyrodiil-Refugee stamblade - Stamina Tank / PvE

    Go dominion or go home

    Nightblade-Hipster. I played Nightblade before it was cool - from 1.5 onwards.

    Yeah I was thinking about going like an off-tank or tanky dps. Does it look like with this skill setup it could possibly 1vX in PvP?

    It’ll work with the right gear, but it’s not BiS

    I’d try 5 7th legion 2 Troll Asylum 2h + SnB and 3pc agility.

    Then I’d drop mirage for SnB reflect. This way you can use the reflect + constitution to power your magika sustain for cloak. You can use serpent mundus + X stam regen glyphs for sustain.

    Troll+FM+Vigor+7th+Speed-lingering pots give tons of healing and mobility. The 7th proc+major fracture+agility should offer just enough damage
