I'm wondering which insignias is everyone running on their PvE Ws?
I usually play the sword W and I use sentinel insignia for the usual 16 swords + 13 str DS+flail+enraging charge build
When I'm playing a more tactics-oriented W with WY! and SU! I use a radiant insignia
What does everyone else use?
Which insignia(s) for PvE?

I have a Radiant set of armour, a Survivor set and a Sentinel's set.
That gives me a lot of build flexibility.
Also, with the addition of Perfect Salvage Kits, I can change my armour to best suit my build. It's just a shame that insignia don't stack.

Armor+10 under stance is my choice when I play flail. It's ok with frenzy too, you get the benefit of +10 armor twice (for damage that doesn't ignore armor obviously) 
Full health is good too.

Ok so I've been away from GW for at least 9 months and just now came back in the past week, and created a warrior. Seeing this thread, I started to wonder if Knight's Insignia's stacked Superior Absorption since no one was mentionting that, or if its just not a good idea to use those. Thanks for the help!

Knight's isn't advisable as the damage reduction, whilst stacking with superior absorption, only affects physical damage.
Pretty much all items with damage reduction have been hit with that qualifier.
This doesn't stop me taking a superior absorption on one piece of all my sets, but the trade-off there is a much more attractive proposition, as the damage reduction from one superior absorption is applied to all of your hit locations.

i don't even use a sup absorption anymore, cause no one in their right mind will hit warriors with physical damage anyway (PvP speaking) and in PvE, who cares about that wee bit of damage anyway ...
i have full survivor armor, and i keep a radiant set for farming purposes

I have full Radiant armor. The +8 energy is handy on a warrior.
Health doesn't matter too much for me. I use Defy Pain and Endure Pain, so my health is around 1,035 most of the time in battle, dropping down to 735 during Endure Pain's recharge time and 435 when not in combat, although I'll probably get some runes of vitae some time.

I use full Survivor, mostly... PvE's easy enough so's it don't really matter.
For a 'pure' PvE warrior though, Survivor, Sentry's (you should always be in Flail) and a switch set of Sentinel's are good general choices.

I have Radiant but that's because I wear Elite Gladiator which before the Insignia update, couldn't be changed. I could change it now if I wanted to but I'm too lazy, otherwise I'd use Survivor or Sentry

I use a mix of survivor and radiant, for total +15hp and +5e, to have 530hp and 25e using superior weapon rune.
Anyway, what about the insignia that gives +10 armor while attacking?
It's not a warrior specific, but gives 110AL vs physical and 90AL agains ALL other damage sources, not only elemental but also chaos and light.
And it triggers when you're attacking (which you normally do), doesnt require 13 strenght and/or stances.

On the other hand, in pve, you're under flail or a running stance continuously.

Sentry's all the way. 13 Str. is too high a req. for Sentinel's in my opinion.
I'm in a stance 120% of the time in either pve or pvp.
That and there's no mention of it being a +10 AL phys. only...
so in total, under a stance, you get 110 vs. phys. and 90 vs. elemental.
Very strong defense imho.
