A New GWF with (maybe some old) questions

Hello everyone!
I started my GWF about a week ago. I already have a lvl 60 Char so I got myself a full Mulhorand set, some good enchants and a Vorpal enchantment.
I went with Half-Orc for race and am currently lvl 24 (maybe 30 by the time of the first reply
).
I just have a couple of questions concerning the GWF:
1. I want to play mainly PvE (the only time I will play PvP is when I'm grinding for the PvP Set and Artifact) and go for a 70/30 Tank build (mainly facetank the big bad guys so they all come to me >:) ). What is the best build for that? I don't want the build in here, but I don't know if that's a Sentenial Build, Destroyer or what you all call those. Maybe a link, but not neccessary, I know how to use the search function :P
2. What is the "best" Enchantmant to go for? Like, Vorpal, Plaguefire or something else.
3. What if the best stats to go for? Like STR, CON and DEX wise and with Def, Regen, Arm. Pen, Recov, etc.? Only if it's not already in the respective build thread.
4. What are some of the more interesting Armor Enchants? I know Soulforged is awesome, but I don't plan on dying, so maybe Bronzwood? Elven Battle Enchant? Something Completly else?
5. What are some of the best Artifact Combos? I plan on going fully defensive. Like the Coin thing from Malabog, the PvP Artifact and the Waters. If that a good choice?
6. Any good Ideas for Companions? Stone is mandatory I think, other than that, maybe Blink Dog, Blacksmith, Dancing Shield and Blade (not from the PvP merchant) or Lightfoot Thief. Are those good or maybe somthing else?
Well, I guess that's it for now
I hope for some answers and thank everybody in advance for the time

My Sig has some guides, the first one has a Sentinel, and the threads most recent upgrade starts on page 24. However, if you have time, feel free to read all of it!
I've been around since the beginning and have tried tons of builds. Here are my answers:
1. Destroyer, generally, is going to be best for PvE. Instigator is still worthless, in my opinion, and needs serious adjustment. You'll get the most damage out of Destroyer simply because of the capstone. However, it is worth nothing a good Sentinel build can get VERY close in damage to a Dest, and you get tons more survival. Be prepared to drop pots consistently as a Dest. I could crit around 23K as Dest, as a Sent my highest was around a little over 19K. Not much of a trade off for the amount of survival I have.
2. For PvE, if that's your thing, I still strongly recommend greater plaguefire. The defense reduction works quite well against bosses.
3. Again, assuming PvE, I'd focus on STR and CON. AP and Power are going to be your best options. Defense is generally ruined by AP in PvP, but stacking some in PvE is a wise idea. Regen isn't really a requirement in PvE if you have your character built right, but it makes surviving easier, just at the sacrifice of some damage.
4. I'd still go with Soulforge, personally.
5. Skull and waters, then latern.
6. Stone, no question, or cat. No other choice.

2. Vorpal
3. Str and dex with enough con to not need much arp. If you go destroyer you get a feat for bonus arp, so less con needed.
actual stats you want power, pve hard cap arp, crit softcap, and 2-2.5k defense plus whatever deflect you can manage. Once you are geared youll hit soft caps on everything and start stacking power, 7-10k. Lifesteal is 100x better than regen in pve.
4. Soulforge.
5. Pvp, waters, lantern for the basics. If you fancy val crown or emblem from mc.
6. I use stone, dancing blade, direwolf, fire archon, lightfoot thief. Switching out thief for blink dog in single target fights like mc or vt last boss.
Defensive pets seem bad based on how little dmg you receive compared to the damage you deal. Blacksmith, renegade evoker etc arent very good. Rust monster maybe for the debuff as long as you dont run it with other defense pets because its just reducing their already poor performance even more.
