I gotta agree with you there man, I hate alchemy with a passion when it just doesn't fit the character.
I took the Dawnguard's side for the Gloves, some of the awesome spells, and cause it felt a little more roleplay friendly, this guys power-hungry, but doesn't need to be a vampire to be a threat to the common populace. I didn't include it as a questline because it plays such a small role and can easily be ruled out.
