I think the problem is that Dawnguard offered some decent (but not overly outstanding) quests, items and other content, while Hearthfire has a couple of unusual and somewhat underwhelming gameplay additions. People may or may not want to be wild beast, but they definitely want a good amount of quality content to expand and improve the game. The reason that Shivering Isles was so popular was it's exotic new location, additional gear tiers and myriad of quests. Dawnguard was a step in the right direction, but Skyrim needs to be have least one DLC piece like Shivering Isles.
