Armor or stamina?

Do you play with a high armor value or a high movement speed value? Movement speed is directly related to stamina cost for dodging and other activities (not attacking).

In my opinion, and I'm interested to hear yours, I'd rather have high stamina over health and low stamina cost for movement over armor. Parrying is a great skill but I don't think tanking with a big shield and heavy armor is a good approach.

Has anyone had success as a classic tank?
