I'm not in stages 1, 2, or 4 so google those ones. Otherwise now you know the majority of the skills and what to get.

Cons to vampirism:
Avoid fire at all costs.

Pros:
Dunmer DK vampires are insanely awesome to play.
Best races for vampirism: Dunmer for magicka dps/fire resistance, Khajiit for stealth critical/detection range and hp regen IC, Altmer for magicka regen and dps, Orcs/Nords for IC hp regens, Breton for bigger magicka pool and reduced magicka costs.
Devouring Swarm's ult cost is ridiculously low and is better then any hp potion or heal you'll ever have. Mix it with an NB's Bolstering.. You officially found god mode (at least for as long as bolster lasts..) The stuns, ability to vanish (NB) devour your target (humanoid only) as a secondary stunlock and then have invigorating as a tertiary stun both of which regen hp. NB or DK vampires are to be feared with a passion.

Werewolf:
By gaining werewolf curse you gain a passive in werewolf or human form:
15% Stamina Regeneration.
Thats all. The rest its mainly bugged.

The ultimate cost to transform got lowered a lot (starts at 300 and can get lower), and they have added very nice skills in theory, such a healing skill.
You have some cool passives that can add time to werewolf (WW) transformation time by eating corpses (up to +12s after devouring) or by getting hit (minor values but still usefull)

But its bugged. Most of the times i try to transform in Werewolf i got stuked in human bugged form (you still look as human, but the skill bar changes, but the gameplay gets bugged) and you lose the effect.
so ive retconed my skillpoints until fix (that should take forever like anything in ESO).

And requires a lot of focus on gameplay, in a dungeon or open world if you got an area without monsters close, or someone in front of you have cleared the trash before you: you transform back to human form again for lack of time.

But those rare moments when the skill works, its really really fun to play. Get pouncing from enemy to enemy, chewing stuff, roaring. Man i wish so much this game could have an single player mode that acepts mods, because when WW works, its much more fun then in Skyrim.

The 15% Stamina Regen its nice. But so many people now complains that its OP, then i bet they will nerf if instead of fix the transformation issues.

Im a Werewolf, part of a WW Guild, im a huge fan of the idea behind it. but in pratice you will get a lot of frustration times between some little happy and fun moments.
So, even being a huge WW fan, ill sugest to you go for the Vampire transformarion then.
