I have had pivot 14s on my last pair of skis and have loved them. However, I seem to have durability issues with them (half moon snapping off, cracking, etc. what other bindings could I run that are more durable? I am 6 ft 4 220 lbs and usually run an 11 or 12 din.

Atomic/Salomon STH2 16's would be a good option for you, very reliable, lots of metal, and the plastic that is used is strong. Great brakes as well, the first binding were I haven't destroyed the brakes.
Tyrolia Attack 18's are another durable mostly metal binding with great reliability and performance.

People are going to hate because you're recommending a 10 DIN kids binding to a dude who is 6'4 and 220 pounds plus he rides at 11 DIN, Free Ten's don't even go to 11 DIN. If he has manged to destroy Pivot 14's then he's gonna absolutely blow up those Markers.

This , my sth 16's feel like stepping into a bear trap , things are bombproof, not once ever have I ejected from those things. Amazing binding.
