In your opinion which is the strongest pve class for mag and stam.

I ask because Blood for Blood hits harder if your health is lower.
In a trial scenario, where health is usually near full, Blood for Blood hits about as hard as Deep Fissure. It is 30-40% stronger than other spammables, and typically adds 5-10k to the user’s DPS. The most important thing isn't even its strength, it’s the health cost that completely removes the need to build for any sustain.
Come now, that's grossly exaggerated. My tooltip from Elemental Weapons is 10k and climbs to 11k with BfB. This is ten percent more damage, but I'm also missing out on burning procs or even vulnerability ones. So really, the dps is almost identical.

This is correct. The elemental proc does negate the base damage difference between those 2 and spell orbs can compensate for a bit of damage as well. However, elemental weapons is also the most expensive spammable in the game or amongst the most expensive with the Psijic passive.
Being able to ignore sustain with Blood for Blood and the chance to deliver devastating blows when your health drops low, makes it unbeatable I am afraid.
And Sorcerer is the only class that can not use it outside of dummies with any efficiency. So it's safe to assume that Sorcerer is at the bottom of dps. Non pet Sorc certainly is far behind everything else. It's the lowest DPS class in the game and has been since release if I remember correctly with the exception of 1 patch where Overload was crazy in 2015 or so. I think it needs a very serious damage boost to abilities and passives to be even closely competitive.
Sorcerer was kept on life support by lightning splash, which is now completely dead.
