Currently I'm using the default difficulty. I rarely need to heal unless I'm fighting at least four opponents at once (which happens fairly frequently inside the Oblivion gates, with the spiders and xialivi summoning stuff.)
I also wear a necklace that gives me a 14% chance of spell absorbtion, and a ring that gives me a flat 50% resistance to magic of all kinds. I'm further resistant to Frost, being a Nord, and I can use a racial ability to give myself a 30% Shield spell. My actual shield has a constant-effect 5% Shield spell on it. I also reflect 6% of all damage taken back to the attacker. Maybe I've just been lucky in finding and making my items. All of my armor (all of which is Daedric, excepting my shield which is actually better than Daedric) is enchanted through Sigil Stones, most of which is extra Fatigue (extra 55 from greaves, 50 from boots, and 60 from helm) and Magicka (extra 50 from gloves.) Being able to use decent Restoration spells, I can also increase my Strength, Magicka, Fatigue, and Endurance through buffs. I also have a wide variety of poisons in my pack, though I never use them. On top of this, I have 78 Strong Potion of Sorcery (restores most of my Magicka in one use) and 99 Strong Potion of Healing; the Necromancers from the Meridia quest dropped about nine of each on every corpse. I also have a ring which grants immunity to poisons, diseases, and paralysis, as well as two rings with Feather on them (varying magnitudes), dozens of potions and scrolls of Feather (again, varying magnitudes), and several restoration potions for all attributes.
I'd turn the difficulty up, but then fights become absurdly long due to the rapidly increasing monster HP. If I could jack up monster damage (so that they can actually be a threat in numbers less than four) without turning up their HP so much, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
