Stamina players are given cheaper skills because of the fact they use their stamina pool to attack as well as defend, and some of the most powerful people in PVP I know run stamina builds and can be very hard to kill, especially with Resolving Vigor. Also thanks to the Fighter's Guild abilities you can get some insanely high weapon damage numbers which can wreck havoc on anyone wearing something like light armor and neglecting to increase their physical resistances.
Oh, also medium armor gives you stamina recovery, reduces the cost of stamina abilities, makes it easier to sneak, makes dodge rolling so cheap you can dodge roll like crazy when built right, and allows you to go really fast while sprinting. If anything the stamina play style can be quite devastating in the right hands and has more weapon options than magicka so I think this is a learn to play issue.

At the same time stam players have few really effective heal spells for them and the only really effective one is a non-class spell, or that of the 2H I really doubt it's only "Resolving Vigor" the 2H weapon is really too abused,Oh, also medium armor gives you stamina recovery, reduces the cost of stamina abilities, makes it easier to sneak, makes dodge rolling so cheap you can dodge roll like crazy when built right, and allows you to go really fast while sprinting.

at the same time dodging is the main defence of stam players there is not really an effective shield for a stam player and made for the stam player!
