It's the block skill Ry, more than anything else. Remember, with a decent block skill, a decent shield and the correct perks/enchantment, you can negate 85% damage with a shield raised - slightly less with a weapon.
Then you factor in your armour. I am not sure what our percentages were but with block and armour perks a warrior can feasibly have a DR of 97% when combining shield and armour together.
Now, ours would be lower but we had shout cooldowns to help us and that really makes things easy on Legendary. I was cutting down trolls and watching them struggle to regenerate health with all the wounds I inflicted with bleed damage! It's fun to see a troll bleed out.
Then we have a decent MR thanks to Lord Stone and Agent of Mara, even better Elemental Resistance when the shield is raised. Really, I had no problems at all besides a few silly mistakes.
