The best long term investment is the DK. Their performance in PvP has been consistent since beta.

not really - they took a solid hit on 1.6 when the Flame Lash Exploit was nerfed.. then again when Standard was nerfed.. you had to completely respec to stay competitive at all after 2.0 (hence the migration from magicka to stamina builds)

right now they're bait on their own in Cyro. the real OP problem child in Cyro atm are NB's..

Flame Lash is still a pretty dominant skill in PvP since it's undodgeable and cuts through Dark Cloak casts. DK's can't do awesome dps while block casting anymore like the OP-days, but players that have adjusted can either be real deadly or a real pain in the ass to kill. NB's are only good when you don't see them coming, if you can survive the initial burst they're very weak on self-heals and flame lash will crush the infinite dodge rolling types.

dont think he really understand how CP works
all classes get advantages from CP, it depends on what u wnat for u r class so on what u spend the points, and its account bound so all ur char have equal CP, but it seems your a min maxer, so the question u should be asking, whats the best clas-race combo

We don't know.

A few patches ago, the answer was probably Dragonknight, with a magicka-based race. Now, it's probably stamina NB. A lot of things work. Only a few don't. We have no idea what ZOS is planning going forward.

Six months from now, the answer may be "squig herder."

I will point out one thing about the champion system, though. It generally, it weighs heavily in favor of stamina-based builds with large numbers of CP's. That, of course, may also change someday.
