First let me say I play on console (PS4) so access to addons is not a thing for me. As a newer player who is currently maining a Stamden (level 47) and playing quite a bit on BGs I am not sure I completely dig the whole sustaining multiple buffs to be effective kind of play style. As of right now I am trying to maintain a close to perfect up time of my bull netch/rally/lotus/ice shield and juggling the crystal absorb and falc swift as needed. Having to disengage roughly every, 20? secs or so to rebuff gets a bit annoying with such a small "kill/active window". Overall the class performs well and has a lot going for it. I am sure many classes share a similar 'need' for maintaining class/weapon buffs at a near perfect up time but I am wondering if there is a class that is maybe less dependent on this? or is 'active' skill based? I heard a few say maybe NB?
Not so much looking for an 'easy' class just something that might let me stay in the fight for more than 20secs at a time haha.

✭✭✭✭I know what you mean with Wardens -- they're a buff-fest of a class and very high maintenance. Stamina Sorcerer might be what you're looking for because your two main buff skills also have awesome secondary effects.
Crit Surge - major brutality and heals on crits
Hurricane - major defense buffs, speed boost, and damage to enemies within range (can also proc heal from crit surge)1 -
hakan✭✭✭✭✭Nightblade doesnt have too many self buffs like dk, warden but they also cant stay long in a fight coz they kinda lack mitigation and stuff. So youll disengage frequently either way.0 -

✭✭✭✭Alternatives worth considering that give you permanent buffs and might ease your rotation/free up skill slots:
2 pc Mighty Chudan (major defenses)
2 pc Slimecraw (minor berserk)
5 pc Dreugh King Slayer (major brutality)
5 pc Rattlecage (major sorcery)
Temporal Guard slotted (minor protection)0
