Keeping my stamina half as high as my health ha served me well with my 2 handed orc. I went all health till 200 (I found a stamina ring & necklace early on). Currently he is in the Mid 50s with 500 health 250 stamina and I have 0 problems with either.
Edit: as far as the build.
I went Heavy, Two Hand, Enchanting, Blacksmithing it's very Orcky. I have decent Archery but once I got 2 Enchantments I decided to go Destruction with 0 mana cost, it's a ton of fun blasting from range, popping a Cloak Spell and wading into Melee swing my sword. I beat Miraak like a rented mule popping Berserk & then Dragon form after Berserk died, same with Harkon. I have respecced and am currently working on 1 hand, block, light armor & Conjuration. I'm shooting for a 100 in all skills then I'm going to do World Eaters Eyrie/Alduin as a Heavy 2 hander on legendary difficulty. I haven't done any weird Alchemy/Enchanting/Blacksmithing exploits, I use Nordic Carved for my heavy set and a drogonbone great sword for my weapon. I only use 1 2 handed enchant on my gear because the more than that and my damage gets nutty. Also I a werewolf for Disease immunity because getting infected on the way to Get stuff Done svcks.
