Here we have a Stamina Dragonknight Dual Wield/Bow PVE build and Iron Atronach Parse for Scalebreaker.

If you're looking for the vMA Dagger Rotation: youtu.be/quVnJepA-k0

There have been loads of changes across the board for combat in ESO. I would recommend you to read the relevant patch notes.

I am using the Max Stam/Stam Regen food, with 64 points into Stamina for all Stamina Setups in these rotations. This is simply for comparison purposes in this test environment.

This Stamina Dragonknight rotation shown here is fairly similar to the vMA Dagger rotation as shown previously. Instead, you can also use Whirling Blades or Crushing Weapon as a spammable as a direct replacement for Rapid Strikes, or you can slot Molten Whip as a passive and use Noxious Breath as a spammable too. All possible.


Gear:
5x Relequen Body, 5x Lokkestiiz (1x Axe 1x Dagger), 1x Master's Bow. (See build screenshot for full details).

Rotation

This rotation is a fairly simple one. It is a 10-second rotation because Arrow Barrage, Poison Injection, Rending Slashes and Consuming Trap are each 10 seconds long. Noxious Breath and Venomous Claw are 12-seconds long, so you could probably also make a case to do a 12-second rotation with Endless Hail instead.

The minimum backbar rotation is: Arrow Barrage - Poison Injection. Roughly every other rotation, you would also cast Barbed Trap. Flames of Oblivion can also be recast every other rotation, or, as I prefer, just whenever is convenient, even if I am halfway through my frontbar rotation.

On the front bar, just make sure to cast your front bar DOTs once in each rotation and fill the rest of the time with Rapid Strikes. That's basically it.

Nothing much changes in execute, just keep going. On your last rotation, if you know you won't get great value out of recasting DOTs, then keep spamming Rapid Strikes until the end!

On the backbar, you have a flex spot where I put Ring of Preservation in the video, where you could also use Vigor or whatever really. If you wanted to include Whirling Blades or something in your Bar Setup, you could try and move Noxious Breath to your backbar in place of the flex and slot Whirling Blades front. You have plenty of options.

For Maarselok, you will need to Bash once every 7 or more seconds to proc its effect.


Proposed Static Rotation:

Start
Flames of Oblivion (FOO) - Barbed Trap

Arrow Barrage - Poison Injection - Barbed Trap/FOO (alternate it each time, skip it the first time)
Rending - Soul Trap - Venomous Claw - Noxious Breath - Rapids - Rapids - Rapids

Skip one cast of rapids if you use your ultimate.

Thank you for reading. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
