PVP DK Stam No CP Build Help Needed Please

Hi all.
Stupidly posted original in wrong thread so trying again.
Totally new to PVP other than daily town quests and I need your help please.
Been trying different beginner PVP builds from the usual suspects for Stam DK No CP no Sub Class.
H3k, S, 27k, WD 3.5k, Cr 26% Pen 13k. S&B front bar for defence skills, 2H back for attack.
Defence is sound, DPS is shocking! Even with nailed rotation no better than 10K.
Running 5p wretched vitality armour, 5p shattered fate jewels and weapons for pen, Helmet of Trainee for health and Malubeth shoulders. 5 Medium , 2 Heavy
Apart from 'get good', what should I change do you think?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

    Here's a quick layout, although I have not played stamdk since clockwork so practically all of the skills have changed. The missing skill is a slot for healing soul. Between the major vitality healing soul and your major mending frags you should get insane healing potential. You can do the ult gen script or the druids to reduce the cost of the healing soul spam. Oh and the "queens own curiass is just trainee". You will see most "meta" pvp builds using reinforced heavy chest, but IMO you are better off with impen in todays crit heavy meta. Chances are you arent dying to smaller hits, you are far more likely to get popped by big crits lining up which is where impen is going to matter far more.
    • Food wise to learn you are probably better of with something like the jewels of misrule just to have bonus mag sustain
    • All triglyphs on the body
    • WD or SD jewelry glyphs
    • frontbar 2h weapon damage glyph, backbar you would have double drain resource poisons or 4sec escapist poisons
    • Pen wise most people are aiming for around 25k armor. So this should land you around 15k + maj/min breaches(8922) == around 24k pen
    • health wise adjust your attributes to 30-32k
    • mundus pick shadow (its literally 2x all the other mundus)
    • You dont really need to worry about wd or stam values anymore, what matters more in pvp is how many % damage sources or healing you can find. Overall you want to choose % sources > WD > max stam when possible.
    • With monomyth your defensive bar needs to be backbar, with the offensive bar on front.
    • You can move things around like put RAT on the backbar for escaping while defensive.
    • Your basic combos are going to be to start defensive, then debuff and dot up the enemy, then go into light > dizzy > mediumAtk(stun) > leap > execute
    • Or you can try changing dizzy for wreckingblow and use the leap stun to guarantee an execute...... Light > Wrecking > light > leap(stun) > light reverse slice...........The problem here is you will lose kill potential when you dont have a dizzy stun in normal combos without ult, but 110 ult isnt too hard to build up with bloodspawn so wrecking may be better.

    We will see if this link works
