Magicka and stamina classes are mostly balanced in pvp. Stamina classes have huge burst capabilities and magicka classes have more utility functions. Stamina classes lack a reliable CC. They only have dizzy offbalance stun while most magicka classes have a unique CC skill like fear, arctic stun, fossilize, toppling charged etc. Most magicka classes have burst heal from their class skills while stamina classes only have vigor+rally and you need to wait for it to fully heal you.
There are also class based executes for magicka classes: sorc fury, templar beam, nightblade impale, warden bear ulti attack and pulsar with inferno staff from destro skill line that you can pair it with brp inferno. It's also a good magicka proc with 1 unique weapon and you can use it in all magicka classes. They are not as much powerful as executioner but that's how it should be to be balanced.
The power gap doesn't come from stamina or magicka. It's the classes like templar(both magicka and stamina), stamina sorcerer, magicka nightblade. These classes need a buff to be equal to other classes: necro, warden and dk. They are really underpowered when compared to these classes.

What mag characters do you play actively in pvp?
Uh, what? Stamina Sorcerer is one of the best PvP classes in the game right now...The power gap doesn't come from stamina or magicka.

To face toe to toe as a magdk(my main) against a decent, not good, just decent, stamcro or stamden i must go proc heavy. Its sad, but is the only way.
Templars are a joke, specially magicka templar that can only work with Zaan.
The only mag class i saw viable without procs is magsorc. But even them when using procs can hit harder.
Stamcro and stamden dont have that problem at all.
And when you need procs to be able to face that classes saying that everything is balanced is just a bad joke.
