Hard to answer since its a tremendous difference between small group and solo gameplay in open world.
The arguably weakest 1vX characters are among the best group vs group characters.

Gotta agree there. Solo and small man are very different in how a class performs.
Like Magplar who is amazing for small man, but in solo he is just a big, fat slowpoke delaying the inevitable.
How Magicka Classes deal with Cyrodiil BS:
Snares/Immobilizes
1. Magplar- Purify, Mist Form
2. M. DKs- Mist Form
3. Sorceror- Streak
4. Magblade- Shade
(IK Mist Form isnt a class skill but a majority of DKs/Temps are vampires so I included it)
(You can streak twice but only shade once)
Escape/Mobility:
1. Sorceror- Streak, Lightning Form
2. Magblade-Shade, Blur, Cloak
3. Magplar- Purify, Mist Form
4. M. DK- Mist Form
(Cloak isn't in its best state and its hard for it to go off)
Healing/Tankiness
1. M. DK- Volatile, Dragon Blood, Embers, etc.
2. Magplar- Rune, Purify, BoL, etc.
3. Sorcerer- H. Ward, Mines, Lightning Form
4. Magblade- Shadow Barrier
(Ignoring Harness/Dampen and Healing Ward, but those can be attributed to Sorc/Magblade usually but also to DK & Templar)
(For sustained, Magplar wins with Sweeps, Reflective Light, Bat Swarm, etc. M. DK has more control with Talons, Deep Breath, and has burst with F. Leap. Nova and Standard are pretty equal)
(All classes can use Purge but its expensive as hell so Magplar wins hands down)
Other Helpful Tricks:
Dragonknight- Block Casting main dps and main heal. Highest Dps DoTs, Tanky af, Best Ultimate out of magicka classes. Ok Sustain.
Nightblade- Cloak to get away from fights, Highest burst in the game with Assassin's Will combo, Shade is amazing (when you can pull it off)
Sorcerer- No crit Shields are strong, Mines in tight spaces, Streak for Mobility/AoE stun.
Templar- Best Heals, Tanky, Sweeps for self healing, PURIFY, Radiant Oppression.
Overall Sorcerer's mobility and high burst is best for solo play.
M. DK has reliable CC's, Great Healing, a strong (and also usable CLASS) ultimate, and can block cast their main dps, whips.
Magplar has very strong heals, very good sustain, is moderately tanky, but lacks a reliable CC.
Magblade has high burst, has fear, but is squishy, immobile without shade, and lacks sustain and good healing.
