Yeah usually it affects whatever abilities cost stamina and do physical, poison, disease damage, etc.

Ultimates scale based on whatever is higher, either your weapon dmg/max stam or your spell dmg/max magicka.

If an ability:

Costs stamina
Or
Deals physical, poison or disease damage

Then the following stats are typically factored into how hard that ability hits:

Character max stamina
Total weapon damage
Physical penetration
Crit rating
Crit multiplier (not shown on character sheet)
Any buffs affecting any of the above

Therefore, medium armor helps weapon abilities that cost stamina, class abilities that cost stamina, and many stamina based wards and heals throughout. (For example, medium armor makes your Vigor heals more powerful).

Sets that offer weapon damage can usually buff damage a bit more than sets that offer stamina. 1-4 item sets will typically offer 129 weapon damage or 1095 stamina (when Horns of the Reach comes out next week)

For stamina based skills, the balance is:
100 WD = 1046 stamina

Weapon damage will buff light and heavy attacks a lot more than stamina:

For both LA and HA, the balance is:
100 WD = 4000 stamina

This is all true for spell damage and magicka as well. Light attacks / heavy attacks could easily become 20%+ of the overall damage with just a few small weapon damage set tweaks.

Keep in mind that the damage type your ultimates do is still affected by penetration. With high physical penetration you're better of with a physical/poison/disease ultimate and with high spell penetration you want magic/fire/frost/lightning one.
