What is the top out for Stam DK on live right now?

I said on live (Wolfhunter) and solo.

As a non-redguard (so, DCT as food and small+big piece enchanted for health), I was getting ~36-37k without vMA bow, with Hunding's and VO, and two heavy attacks on front bar - so rotation definitely can be looked at, there's a lot of space to improve over 30k, even omitting Relequen. Heavy rotation is clunky, but at least it gives sustain.

I haven't had sustain issues since switching, it was only when I tried to work in the Asylum Bow before checking out the Claw of the Mad God build. It was a bad combo of skills/rotation that depleted too much stam before switching back to DW. It wasn't a huge problem, just had to work in the occasional heavy attack, and it was a rotation problem, not an armor set problem. Going to give the Mad God build a go.
I will try out @kylewwefan's suggestions for vMA as well as @Mister_DMC's for vDSA. Now, just need to find the time. Thanks everyone.

Relequen is trash in VMA in my experiences.
Also, I used one cost reduction, one Weapon Damage and one Recovery glyph with Dubious and the lover mundus and sharpened Bow/ nirn Infused Daggers and a good bit of points into pen and thermaturge. And Dawnbreaker/Ballista Ult.
Skoria is also a good Monster Set to use even on a stam toon. Keep your hardened armor up, use wings, maybe corrosive armor here and there, possibly meteor.
You would probably be best off with that in VDSA as well IMO. Maybe change Ult around per fight.
All the dummy testing stuff goes out the window when trying to do something other than trials. Like using the standard for more damage. It’s a terrible Ult on bosses that move or go invulnerable.

For pure single target, VMA and masters bow are basically a wash (but I believe VMA is slightly ahead). VMA gives a lot more cleave damage, however, which is why its the meta choice as almost no fights are pure ST.
To be candid, if you are only pulling 30k on a stam toon, your gear is not the issue. You need practice with your class and rotation. If you want to master your rotation, well that's what dummies are for. If you want to really master your class in PVE, well VMA is a great place to start. 2 birds with one stone.
I fully acknowledge my rotation is a work in progress. I was just wondering if there was a suitable replacement for the VMA bow for doing stuff like VMA and to be more effective in vet DLC trials.
Everything I have read says VMA is a nightmare for stam melee, and to date, my experiences in there have proven that to be correct. I don't blame my gear or the game, I know I need to improve. And I know the VMA bow is not the magic bullet that will get my DPS up to 40K. But every little bit helps
I also am giving that Mad Claw build a go. Again, I'm open to all suggestions.

If I remember correctly before I stopped playing I was enjoying my stam sorc
