Deck discussion for Vampires

Ok. So I hope you don't mind but I'm going to give you a lot to look at with this deck. You don't need to take any of my advice but I hoPe I can help a little bit.
Personally I'm not a fan of the bloodthirst vampires other than the bloodlord. For the most part I think that they're just too expensive. However if you find that you are liking them there are ways to make it work. I would look at putting taste of blood in for the cheap bloodthirst ability because it specifies damage and the leechridden swamp is lifeloss. And with all of the counters from bloodthirst and the mephidross vampire I would look at adding blade of the bloodchief and urge to feed for some extra counters. With everything there then, I would seriously look into adding tezzeret's gambit, contagion clasp, or better yet a contagion engine.
Secondly, I think you have way too much land! I would consider taking 2-3 land out and maybe adding another revenant. With the extra mana they provide there is no need to have that much land.
Spell choice. I'm not a big fan of the spells you chose, in particular doom blades, and consume spirits. Vampires have their own special doom blade. Sorcery that kills any creature and heals you 4 all for the same mana cost. Also corrupt is nice because for 6 mana you hit creature of player for the number of swamps you have. In a multiplayer setting I would have exanguinate. Hits all opponents for x and you heal all of that damage.
And lastly I think you should get rid of all of that . Save that for the zombies. :P lilliana, morbid plunder, burried alive, and even bloodchief assention. You don't really need those in a vampire deck. If you want to gravedig your creatures add bloodghasts. If you want a planeswalker there's sorin markov. Those are just my thoughts though...
If you want I encourage you to take a look at my vampire deck. It's a little bit different than yours but it might give you some ideas and some more fun vampires for your deck! :D

I agree with alzorius on the bloodthirst and how some of you spells dont quite make sense in this deck. I do see some fun combo possibilities though.... add treskilion(sorry about spelling) with mephidross for infinite damage to opponents creatures. And sanguine bond works awesome with blood tribute (instant win). One of my favorite cards with nocturus is yawgmoths bargain because you can always make sure your top card is black, with that said I would add more noctunus's.

Hi !
If you wish not to take the two good advises above, then you should bring in more mana ramping such as Cabal Ritual/Culling the Weak, maybe get rid of the mana-burdened cards, such as Chancellor of the dross and yes, more Nocturnus' :)
Please take a look at my vamp deck:
