I tried 48 dem for 100k rps, and I found Dem to be fantastic at intererupting with good survivability, but that comes at the price of gimp damage.
Vamps are fine, but the thing is, if you want to group you should roll a BM, as vamps don't get groups easily - people want BMs.

A vamp can't threeshot a tank for instance, a champ can with banespike + rr5.

1) CD rear and side styles
2) Determination + Stoicism
3) Better survibality vs melee: adv evade, RI vs Leather, rr5, malice / battler
4) More consistant damage (vamps only do decent damage with eye shot, or vs those woth poor resists)
