You compare vampires to fleas? Sure, I bet a Lycanthrope (favoured of Hircine) could take an average vamp. But a vampire ancient (or perhaps a lord) would likely rock the pants off of a Lycanthrope, since werewolves do not increase in power with age.

I'm going to be a vamp, because being stealthy is WAAAAY more fun than straght up combat!

Being a werewolf is not an honour limited to the companions; it's an honour limited to the favoured of Hircine. I imagine that the companions are one of histories most famed warriors and in the eyes of Hircine they are probably famed Hunters. However, we saw no werewolves in the vid and I am pretty damn sure they would show us any if Dawnguard were Lycanthropes.
