I really think there should have been a fortify unarmed vampire strength thing where the melee weapon damage is increased also. Also I thing something should have happened to increase the effectiveness of raised undead and destruction spells as well as sneak and illusion.
Actually, a vampire with the Necromage perk gets certain bonuses to certain perks in other trees. For example, the Fists of Steel (unarmed) perk gets a 25% bonus. You also get certain bonuses in the One Handed, Archery, Light Armor and Pickpocket perk trees, according to the notes about vampirism on UESP. Granted it isn't across the board, it's only to certain ones, but still. Here is a link detailing this:

I would imagine that goes for either Vampire Lords or regular vampires as well. So actually if done a certain way, vampires are already pretty damned powerful. The above doesn't even count the various bonuses to Sneak and Illusion, or the various powers and abilities the Vampire Lord receives when fully perked. So basically, with a bit of work and attention to detail, you can have an awesomely powerful vampire. Unfortunately though, they aren't really naturally powerful straight out of the box. Just how it works. :/ I do believe a Necromage vampire also gets bonuses to Conjuration - or I may be thinking of the Vampire Lord perk tree. There's something I can't quite remember off the top of my head that makes VL's natural necromancers. As far as a bonus to Destruction for them, no I don't think they have one. I agree with you there, vampires should definitely have gotten a bonus to Destruction. Seems fitting.
But all in all, no, I don't think they should've gotten more advantages. I think they have enough already. Werewolves on the other hand.. Well, don't get me started on all that. lol
