Best Armor Enchant for a PVP CW build

Hello guys,
I'm here to ask you all what would be the best Armor enchant for a pvp CW, given that, till now, I used Soulforged but I'm not happy at all with it. As soon as you die and start standing up you die again vs any class but other CWs or DCs. So, imo, Souldforged could be good just in 1v1 situations and only vs certain classes.
Given that, what would you prefer ?
Elven Battle seems a valid alternative but what does it protect against ? Is it really useful ?
Would be cool to get some suggestions, expecially from the best CW pvper.
Thanks in advance.

PS: This is not a whining thread about class balancing or how good/bad a CW is in pvp right now so, please, just answer to the aforementioned questions, leaving the rest to the other threads :)

    If you don't go SF, go Barkshield. It's you're next best bet.

    Until they do a full rework of armor and weapon enchantments we are kind of restricted in what is really viable to use .

    Agreed.

    And if Barkshield is too ugly for you might you want to try Thunderhead. Thunderhead not only deals damage but it has got a chance to stun. In a brawl will Barkshield still be better, because it is going to absorb a good amount of damage, but if you find you have more 1v1 fights then the extra damage with a chance to stun might be more interesting for you. And it does not make you look like you had magic cowpats on you.
    Stay frosty.

    Barkshield helps a lot vs tanks.

    Tanks usually open up with that 1-2-3 combo that you can't escape. Barkshield will absorb a lot of that damage and allow you to confidently fire back without having lost a ton of health. By the time he catches you again, you'll probably have some more bark.

    I use it on my CW and will not be going back to Soulforged anytime soon.

    I ran the numbers once. Over the recharge time for SF you get more HP / damage absorption with bark shield. On top of that I have run with greater versions of both and have found better survivability with the bark shield.
