It's all about being flexible and adapting to the situations.
Personally if I'm soloing/duoing/trio, I'll pull out a 2 hander, a pet and go for a dps setup. In a full group I'll use the ebon mace and a shield in raids I go for nocti + shield because I consider my dps to be irrelevant if I'm tanking in raids and go for an all survivability build.
Sometimes, the only goal is killing mobs as fast as you can, if you have healers with too much mana behind typically... Other times you cant to be all mitigation
