Hey, thanks for all the great advice! Especially the omissions, and redundancies. I didn't know that about Stamina Regeneration, but it's definitely a good datum. When I referred to "Efficiency" I ment for Stats, that leaves you more for Health, and Magicka (In order of priority) but I can see how that was vague.
As per your examples with Bandits, the Slow effect is handy for setting up for Great Critical Charge. You only need a pip of Stamina to Bash, or Power Attack. It will take you longer to recover in between, but you're not doing it all the time, just when you need to interrupt. (I personally would have hit the Marauder before the Chief, especially if he's got a Warhammer.) Also, at least he won't be able to Power Attack! (right away, anyway.)
That's why it's called Hack, and Bash, you aren't bashing constantly, most of your damage, and cast on strike healing come from regular attacks, and fortunately, you don't have to Power Attack to stagger, except for Great Critical Charge. So, I guess that whole section needs to be re-written for clarity. Of course you can run out of stamina, if you run yourself out of stamina. The trick is don't, know when to bash, and when to just swing, or Sweep, or Charge. Bashing is static, and Charging is dynamic. If you dive in too deep (I've been known to myself) then it really helps to have Whirlwind Sprint cued up so you can Wuld away, and regroup. Especially when you have to recast.
Weapon Weight affects Power Attacks like the GCC, and Sweep. Bashes are bashes, but the light weight brings the Power Attacks down closer to that low drain. I can usually get a GCC (Which is closer to a half second, I sprint right before the Power Attack) and at least 2 bashes in 100 Stamina with this build, if I Hack a few times in between (With Windwalker, and the Lady really helps too.) The Warhammer is slow, so it's easier to time, i actually have more trouble with Daggers because they're too fast to interrupt, so I play the Reach game with them.
Summons are NPCs, so they all do more damage, and take less on Master. So, they're just as powerful relative to other NPCs, and twice as powerful as you. Same goes for Followers, and Zombies.
A slight correction here, 200 Armor+the Lord (Without the Lady)+ Ebonyflesh is only 350 Armor, which is halfway decent, but only really protects against arrows effectively. Bleed&Burn are only effective when you stack up multiple instances of it, but with the Flame Cloak, Dremora Lord, and uthgerd's Sword of Scorching, they pile up pretty quick on top of the 8DPS from the cloak, AND the weapon's damages.
You gave me a lot to work with, and I'll get right on it.
