Full nightingale armor would work just fine for this, and the additional boost to Illusion is a nice incentive for anyone interested in using that school. If you haven't used Illusion before, hang on to your hat... it's a game-changer. Getting people to kill each other for you, and calming them down when they try to kill you is so powerful it's almost unfair.
As to Illusion perks: if you want to get the full feel for what this school does, I'd perk everything. If, however, you don't have the perks or are afraid of becoming OP, I'd go with Dual Casting and the two branches to the far left... Dual Casting should make up for the buffs you'd get out of the branch on the far right. You may want to adjust your stats to give you a bit more magicka, though--since you aren't perking Block, I'd probably roll with 1 Health and 2 Magicka ;D
Personally, I find being a vampire kind of a hassle, but to be fair, I don't use any of the DLC's that really make it interesting. You could try it for a bit, and if you don't like it you can always find a cure ;D
