I have a warrior/mage build, and I am specializing in heavy armor. I'm doing this because I tend to die easy and light armor doesn't sound like enough protection (despite what others say).
I was wondering: if I get the Conditioning perk, will this help with my sneak and stamina?

70 heavy armor (required for Conditioning) is a long way away. What you really want to solve the sneaking issue is the Muffled Movement perk at 30 sneak (50% noise from armor) and the Muffle spell from illusion.
The survival issue is simple - don't dual wield. Add a shield and you will live. Blocking is a huge damage reduction, but even when you don't block the shield adds armor!
Stamina isn't a big deal if you spend a handful of level ups on it and get the Restoration(40) perk - Respite (Healing spells also restore stamina).
