I rotate between Grothdar and Valkyn Skoria on my magsorc.
My play style and build with my magsorc means I am up in close quarters often, leading to Grothdar performing well. For more ranged fights, i.e with a boss that does crazy aoe that I need to keep my distance, I switch to Valkyn Skoria.
Both are visually impressive.
I do not use Llambris because it is a stationary aoe proc, if the enemy move out of it, its wasted. With Grothdar its me that decides who is hit by where I move and locate to, for Valkyn Skoria its obviously a ranged target proc so usually always hits.

Slimecraw when no combat prayer
Zaan when melee
Maw for more health and ST damage
Ilambris for ranged AoE
Grothdarr for melee AoE
Iceheart for survivability
Domihaus for vSS dragons
Balorghs for burst (vHoF spider boss)
And sometimes mixed crit sets of my crit is too low

I may already have Valkyn sitting in the bank, so I'll mess about with it. I think I was saving it for another toon, but it's an easily obtainable one. . . .
Supprised more people haven't tried Lord Warden/Pirate for the bonus mitigation. Is there a better way to get 5k resists? Was thinking prot jewelery but thats dropping alot of magicka

People are talking about resistances and nobody has mentioned mighty chudan. Isn't that the best resists you can get from a monster set? I'm talking about selfish resists and not buffing a group of course.
Better to think of Chudan as a "save a skill slot" set rather than a defensive set. As @Xvorg said there are better options if you want to be tanky. I still like it on some classes tho.People are talking about resistances and nobody has mentioned mighty chudan. Isn't that the best resists you can get from a monster set?
