The current rulings support you on this one. each Blood Doll allows you
to move one blood on or off the vampire in the Master Phase.

Pulled Fangs occurs in the press stage of the combat. So your opponent
has the opportunity to Blur and thereby cause more damage at close range
(or equal) and stop you from playing a Pulled Fangs. I believe, but am
not positive as I don't own the card, that the wording on Pulled Fangs is
more damage at close range in a round, thus opening the door for
additional strikes before the PF. Regardless of the exact wording, it has
been ruled to be a press stage card.

The wording on VD is that if in combat at close range, regardless of the
outcome of strikes. An S:CE at close range will stop any possible damage,
but will not stop the disease from spreading.

Officially the DB/Zip combo is legal. Many people seem to play with house
rules that either discourage or outlaw this combo. My group doesn't, but
I could understand why others might want to.
I hope this helps

P.S. Our group is VERY combat intense.

Blood Doll does not work like the investments. It allows one blood to be
moved on or off the vampire during the player's master phase, regardless
of anything else that player is doing. So multiple Blood Dolls always
stack, regardless of whether you have Anson or a similar effect available.

Pulled fangs is used after all strikes are resolved (at the press step).

Pulled Fangs:
Used during the press step, and counts up damage successfully inflicted
during the round.

Close range is close range. Disease does not mention anything about
strikes, so would not care what happened during the strikes.

<No Errata has been issued to make this illegal>

Each Blood Doll is its own effect, so you can move 2 blood on or off the
vampire during a single master phase. (You can also move 1 blood off, and
then on again, if you're feeling bored.)

You can't use it while additional strikes are still in question, because
you wouldn't know for sure what the comparable damage was.

Majesty would not avoid the disease counter.

There has been no official change to limit zip gun/dragons breath.
