Stamina Necromancer or Magicka Necromancer?

[Polverrati]

About to start up my first Necromancer, can't decide which route I want to take. I'm fine with playing either one. Only thing I can mention that might make a difference is that I almost always play solo.

Stam seems pretty good really. Lots of poison stuff. I have also seen people doing Mag and also having a good time.

I'm doing stam right now and having a blast. Throwing poison skulls at people, summoning an acid covered colossus to beat down my foes... It's great!

been using magicka necro as a heavy armor tank and its really fun.

with the ravaging goliath ult and the spirit guardian that takes damage for you you can just run around the enemies and players. obv will get curb stomped when 5+ players are focusing you down though.
been using Grace of Gloom set from summerset and it works really well, least for the time being. And as my weapon, a frost staff.

(5 items) When you take damage from a single target direct attack or ability, you have a 10% chance to become a living shadow, causing your light and heavy attacks to heal you for 3440 and gaining Major Evasion for 5 seconds, increasing your dodge chance by 15%. This effect can occur every 15 seconds.

I've been considering a Death Knight type character for my necro, and this kinda sounds like what I'm looking for. If the stam skills heavily rely on poison, I'd prefer going magicka.
