About balancing and mechanics

Hello friends, before submitting you my thoughts and considerations, i would tell that i am nearly a new player in this game.
My highest character level is about 30 and what i am going to say comes from latent feelings and watching streamings.
I don't want to impose my opinion on anyone but just to know what do you think about it, and ,if I am wrong, why.
First of all, i don't think the last patch was bad. The damage reduction feels great and take away a bit of power from seems-like overpowered classes.
I mean big streamers and players started complaining about "the lack of competition" this would bring. In my opinion, it's exctly the opposite.
What -that you can define- "competition" is there in one-shotting a player with your NB from a gank in stealth mode?
Another thing about I'd like to have your opinion is: balancing.
From what i see on streaming or the bit i feel in Cyrondill with my bit experience, some classes are extremely more suited for 1vs1 or 1vs10 than others.
I am talking about Sorc and NB (indipendently if you are building Mac or Stam, but let's save this for later).
I think Dk are so inferior to them. What's the point of having 1HShield? Seems none since you can't block charged attacks or gain stamina while blocking. I can be wrong but Dk have a big lack of mobility compared to the other classes. And this is not balanced by anything. A NB or a Sorc can engage/disengage when they want and you are just there running here and there waiting to land something. I can be wrong, but this is what i feel like.
Plus the heavy armor seems to be so weak compared to the skill tree of the medium and light one. Seems to be no point, for a Dk, to spend points there.
While it should be the first choice. I mean, how do you image a Knight?
Last thing, I can't see the point -i mean the thematic and lore point- of StamSorc or MagikaNB. This have no sense, in my opinion! A sorc is meant to do spells ,magic damage and stuffs like these while a Nb is intended to be an assassin. Intead, someone says that these are two of the strongest class builds in the game. That is how I image a StamSorc:

Summing up, I think Zos is doing a good work right now in balancing and in general too but there is still some major changes that have to be done. "Balance" should be the key word of their work right now.
