I don't like his hp's though and if I want to take at least 3 in earth it'll be expensive.

The Phoenix is not a front-line combatant, so his lack of HP is not really a great loss. The Phoenix is good at taking lightly defended indy provinces in your dominion at very little risk. However, I don't think Tien Chi starts with a national fire or air spell for the Phoenix to use for this job, unlike Marignon or Abysia.

the vamp queen is the vamp queen. I don't like the 'wasted' blood path she has and the crappy dominion. Although with the forced turmoil I'm sure there will be many cases where I won't mind someone elses dominion.

Blood path is only wasted if you're Ermor or CW Pan. Otherwise, you can use it as a platform for devil summoning.
