Lightroom vs Photoshop CS vs Elements vs Capture

I've always been a photoshop user although I did use Nikon Capture for a while along with CS1 when there was some sort of integration. I currently use CS5 with my D7000. Now I'm stuck with upgrading to CS6 if I want to open NEF files for the new camera. Adobe released the new version of Camera Raw today with support for the D600.
So what is the difference between Lightroom and photoshop? Should I be using lightroom instead of photoshop? I'm really a beginner to PS and mainly use it for RAW control and things like exposure, WB, color adjustments etc. I do go to black and white and HDR in PS. I don't really ever do any image manipulation so I don't need the "graphic arts" features in PS.
So, which product is better and for what? Which one do I want and if Adobe has Elements, why do they also have Lightroom?

Hope this help. At least you would be able to start to use your D600 RAW images immediately.

For further or in deep editing or corrections - especially backscatter removal - i use Photoshop even if Lightroom has a similar function.
I consider Lightroom as a very useful tool for a low price.
