The altmer, seriously. Highborn is great for spam healing. With the perk "respite" (level 40 restoration), this is limitless stamina for the power attacks. The added 50 magic is good for fast healing as well (gives you up to 2 more fast heals on high levels, or one close wounds). Also, it lets you spec 50 less to magic and that 50 to health or stamina, which is good. The orc has no skill in magic at all, so an orc is for the purest warrior of the pure (with purity times 10000000). Also, you can summon one bound sword with the 50 extra.

I might have actually tried what you want to make. Made an altmer specialising in destruction and one handed. Not sure if you are using heavy or light armor (recommended, so you don't waste magicka on mage armor). If you are going nightblade, you can use the highborn to spam invisibility. The orc is rather limited in this aspect
