2handed Knight build request

I have searched the forums but all the information seems to be a little out of date, any one recommend a good 2handed build for knight?
I was interested in doing a glory build but people said that it was not good anymore.

this is the build I used on live with some tweaks, and still use here on ror. works very well for me and my group.

This topic provided some good info and still seems relevant (if you scroll down there are 2-handed builds discussed):

I wouldnt run a glory build, the good stuff is in the other 2 mastery paths.

This is what i would run with the option of switching out slice through for biting blade if you want a little more damage and not to concerned about keeping everything perma snared.
Also if u chose to take vigilance always use shield of the sun first so that vigilance isnt shattered straight away.

Hey thanks for your suggestion, i was wondering seeing as glory seems to be not favourable, should i still keep blazing blade in my rotation and what auras do you think work best?

The dot stack abilities are terrible on just about every melee class that has them IIRC, unless using it to mask other debuffs. Since youre a kniggit and your debuffs be permanent, its worthless.
General aura usage is Str/tough/resists. Str and resists are most important because 1: crits are good, and 2: **** magic.

If that is true then running around in t1 scenarios, blazing blade was god but i know that's nothing to go by, so should i just abandon all melee dots then, is that what you are suggesting? :/

At low levels you can use it since yoy have very few abilities anyways so its much more helpful. At r40 its unlikely you will use it, but possible. Not all melee dots suck, but the stacking ones (blazing blade, rend, and the WH one) are pretty bad since they require three gcds to use properly, and its not like theyre doing much dmg anyways.
Ironbreaker, f'rex, does a lot of its dmg via short duration, high dmg (ish) dots.

I see, i never knew this before, so the game has gone in more burst damage direction then it would appear.
I am only a level 10 knight, what path should i start on first?

Start to get Smashing counter and vigilance imo as they will help the most to level as On your Guard will get stronger from mastery points and kill bos faster :p +KD is invaluable.
