It is clear the path now that the developers has take, from a sorc perspective.
NERF TO THE GROUND, BASED ON FORUM MOANERS ONLY.
Lets see:

1. Pet damage nerf, even if pets weren't used in pvp....the nerf was huge, btw
2. Necropotencer nerf incoming, on top of pet damage nerf, will deal the MORTAL BLOW to the spec, period. SORCERER WITH PETS WILL NO LONGER CLEAR VMA AT ALL.
3. Resource nerfs had the greatest impact on sorcerers. We have the longest HEAVY ATTACK SPEED and we regen the LEAST RESOURCES from full cast HA.
4. Crystal Frag nerf, while we have NB one shoting players or killing players in 2 seconds most with INCAP specs.
5. Amberplasm nerf incoming, Black Rose nerfed, BSW nerfed, and many other SORC SETS NERFED TO THE GROUND
6. Heavy attack and light attack damage nerfed. By A LOT
7. Shields nerfed, ONLY LAST 6 SECONDS, FOR half the values...we are wearing LIGHT ARMOR, SO WE NEED BIG SHIELDS, PERIOD. YET THEY NERFED THOSE ALSO
8. Regen from CP GUTTED. The nerf was AIMED SPECIFICALLY TO MAG SORCS!
9. Atronach NERFED, CURSE NERFED TO THE GROUND
10. Overload NERFED
11. Teleport NERFED, BADLY (streak)

There are many others I wont bother listing, but rest assure, sorcs are getting heavy nerfs AGAIN with next patch. And not because they do need it (they don't) but because of forum trolls and haters, to whom the developers are listening not to lose more subscribers.
If you want to go from a balanced spec to a uter trash spec, they keep stay silent. Shut up, mind your ingame activities like picking flowers and whatnot, and do not bother with what is to come
But once the patch goes live, don't come to the forums crying.

On PTS, the NB are doing 60k, DK's are doing 70k+, both stamina, while sorcs are trailing hard behind on 40k, with HUGE RESOURCE ISSUES, mobility and survivability issues. But stay calm and don't riot, sorcerers, all will be fine for you IF YOU HIDE YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND and pretend it wotn happen, because it will, if you stay calm like you are now.
The forum NB trolsl wont rst until all you will be able to do is heavy attack in pvp, for 2 k. And even then they will ask for that to be nerfed.
Sorc wears LIGHT ARMOR. Sorc needs defenses in pvp, why do they nerfed their shields, please tell me?
We are not heavy armor users, to withstand an army of enemies, nor we are medium armor users to cheese the game with roll dodge once then dodge for the next 10 minutes all attacks....NO, we use LIGHT ARMOR, WE ARE VISIBLE, ALMOST IMOBILE, turret casting class.

You took it lightly when all the spam with nerf sorc threads start poping up, now see results? You get massive nerfs, voila, keep your head in the sand
I MAY BE THE ONLY ONE WHO SPOKED AGAINST THESE NERFS AND ASKED FOR NB CLASS TO BE NERFED BECAUSE THEY ARE OP, with the one shots mechanics IN PVP...but now, now they even gonan do double that dmg in pve.
Forget about VMA btw, seriously, if you don't believe me, install the PTS and go ahead and test, THE NERFS TO THE SETS, RESOURCE REGEM SHARPENED AND SPELL PENETRATION WILL RENDER THE CLASS USELESS.
Pet sorcs will be BOTTOM, to say the least. Scamp nerf damage coupled with Necropotencer nerf coupled with spell penetration, sharpened and REGEN NERFED will eman one thing, and one thing only....aka, DEAD CLASS/SPEC.
THEY ARE DESTROYING YOUR CLASS, IN WITCH YOU INVESTED SO MUCH! HOW CAN YOU BE SILENT ABOUT IT? GO ON PTS, AND SEE FOR YOURSELF....
But keep on hiding in your safe place...I chose the manly way out....3 bans and counting
YOU DO NOT GET MY MONEY, ZOS.
