100% sure it had nothing to do with perks. I didn't have necromage and I didn't have any points in destruction at all...Can't think of anything else that would boost dawnbreaker damage. I tested it out by getting dawnbreaker as soon as I could, and became a Vampire, and the explosions barely damaged me...then on another character got it much later in the game, and took out a nice chunk of my health in one swing. I don't know if this has been fixed in patches so it isn't leveled now or what, as I have the earliest version of it that I play on most of the time (can fly through smithing with iron daggers compared to what my friend needs, lol)
