PvE Stamblade Build for Scalebreaker?

With so many skills being nerfed, buffed, or completely reworked, what is a decent build going to look like in the upcoming patch? I've seen a lot of talk about individual skills, but not much in the way of comprehensive setups. I don't have PTS access and the UESP Build Editor hasn't been updated early like it has for previous patches, so I can't test or visualize on my own yet. What changes are you making, and why?

✭✭✭✭✭Best thing you can do is switch to tanking. From current parses nightblades are one of the worst classes for dps this patch and with little to nothing group utility (in dps form). Nightblade tank on the other side has best mitigation plus can notably debuff boss damage and lack of engulfing flames is not that critical given the stamina dominance.1 -
FoulSnowpaw✭✭✭NB DPS is pretty terrible and even with the title of assassin-style class.
ZOS wanted the "vision" to bend towards "survivability" over damage dealing, hence the nerfs over time and now to scalebreaker where NB is hardly viable in dps compared to other classes.
So yeah clearly they want NB to be tanks since they emphasize "survivability" so much.1
