I'm a sneak build I use both magic and stamina abilities was wondering if it would be worth it. I know the main fall back to it is fire weakness. I mostly do pve right now but I have been thinking about pvp in the future.

Vampirism can be fun for grinding, solo pve and pvp. It's really bad for group pve though...

Regarding your abilities, do you use both Magicka and Stamina for damage? The only reason I ask is that because the damage of abilities scale off the respective max stats.

So if you're wanting to maximise your damage, simply speaking: having 30k Stamina, you'll do more damage via an ability which uses Stamina than if you had 25k. That's also the same for Magicka. People who go the DPS route typically dump all attribute points in to one or the other and also focus their gear the same way due to this.

On my StamNB I have everything I can geared towards Stamina even though I use some Magicka abilities. As those abilities are only for utility (Cloak, Mass Hysteria, Relentless Focus) rather than damage: I'm not suffering from the above lack output on my main resource (Stamina) and my off-resource pool (Magicka) is sufficient to use those abilities as much as I need to.

That's a very good point since I don't have vamp let still looking for it. I have been using an ability for self healing

Stamina builds have two main sources for heals (which also scale off max Stamina) and I run both of these:
1. Rally (2H) which also provides +20% damage and does moderate heals over 33 seconds
2. Vigor (Assault) which does strong heals over 5 seconds

What ability have you been using?
