Well I like to use all Radiant insignias because I like having the higher energy base.

As for runes I like using superior axe on a axe mastery helm
Then a major strength (a minor strength will do) and minor tactics.
A superior vigor is best (because of the big health minus) but whatever vigor you can get will hold you over
I also use a vitae rune to get another health plus (again because of the health minus)..if you don't like vitae then superior absorption is a good one.

so
Full Radiant Insignias
Superior Vigor
Vitae or Superior Absorption
Axe mastery....12 +1 +3
Strength.........10 +2 (or +1)
Tactics............8 +1

This is all preference of course, I'm sure there are several other ways to go.

Brawlers insignia on every piece, superior axe mastery on the helmet, minor strength, minor tactics, superior absorbtion, best vigor you can afford. You can swap the superior absorbtion for a vitae rune or something but I don't think it's necessary.

PvE or PvP?

PvE... I'd run Brawler's or Sentry's, sup Axe on the helm, with Vigor, minor Tactics, minor Strength and sup Absorption.

PvP... Survivor's and a single Stonefist, minor Axe, minor Tactics, minor Strength, then reduce Blind/Weakness or Cripple rune. Oh, and a Superior Vigor.
If you're not using any Tactics skills, drop the Tactics rune for a Vitae.

I only use PvE but I run all radiant (throwback to when glads didn't need rare materials so cheaper, got used to it), Sup axe, Sup Vigour (or best vigour run you can afford), Minor strength, minor tactics, Sup Absorption

12+1+3 Axe, 9+1 Strength, 9+1 Tactics, rest scattered in minor attributes

Very similar setup to the above posters my pve guy has Sup Abs & Axe minor all others, obviously will upgrade to better vigour at some point.

I curently have dreadnoughts insignias as thats was what i had in stock, these will change to a couple of radiants and a couple of brawlers, probably with 1 leutenants for the reduced hex/condition, as i run mainly with me and henches.

I assume you mean PvE

Drednaughts insignia, Minor Axe mastery on helm with axe mastery+1, Minor/Major/Superior vigor, minor tactics and minor strength and vitae
Dont use the superior axe mastery unless you have another helemt with minor axe mastery. Having your executioners strike deal 4+more dmg is not worth the health lose
