2-handed warriors IMO should use armors that offer the lowest fatigue penalties and provide stamina. Wades Light and Medium armors are great for that, however the Light protection causes you to get hit hard but let's be honest here, 2-handed warriors ain't tanks.
For the most part you will need to pump nothing but str, and maybe get 20 willpower. Usually the items you equip will give more than enough bonus to willpower + the fade attributes bonuses.
Death Blow is a must have and so is Powerful which reduces the penalties of wearing heavier armor.
I have a very deep stamina pool 455 total stamina at level 24, in my awakening game.
I'm using Wades Superior Dragonskin which is medium armor, my fatigue is like -24% with out any susstained abilities running. Summer Sword for my main weapon (Since my armor is medium I like the physical resistance.), Key to the City, Lifegiver, Spellward, and Andruils Blessing.
Stamina is an issue early on, but you need to manage your sustained abilities more sparingly early on. Like only use Indom, or Powerful swings when fighting power enemies and etc.
