This form / essence pair reminds me of the phenotype / genotype one in biology. "Phenotype" encompasses the observable innate and acquired characteristics of an individual (form), while "genotype" encompasses the hereditary characteristics fundamentally encoded whithin its genome (essence).

Zergs have the prfection of the essence because they can they can change their own nature to improve themselves.

Protoss have the perfection of form because they have the strongest potential in an irreplaceable field (best psionics).

How about a Form / Essence Perfection for the Zerg / Protoss hybrids ? Wasn't it the original purpose of the Xel Naga ? Create them separately then fuse them into a complete super-species than would serve as the vessel of their return ?

Not quite now though, this part of Starcraft 2 lore (the hybrids' role/purpose) seems to have altered between Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm.
