Which DLC is first Dragonborn or Dawnguard?

Main quest, and in between, do Dawnguard, (and then Hearthfire) and lastly, Dragonborn after Main Quest. This is how Bethesda likely intended it and it makes the most sense. You can tell based on the release dates for each DLC. Dragonborn goes after Alduin and while doing so, gets involved with the vampire/dawnguard.

Should I start Dawnguard or Dragonborn first?

Technically and story-wise you can do them in either order. However, the Dragonborn DLC is significantly harder/requires a higher level than the Dawnguard DLC - even though you are introduced to the Dragonborn DLC earlier. You get the Dragonborn quest right after you speak to the Greybeards.

Should I do Dragonborn DLC before or after main story?

Dragonborn is the first quest for Dragonborn Main Storyline. Players will require the expansion to begin this questline. If you have completed the Skyrim Main Quest Line up to The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller, simply travel to any of the main holds and wait for a pair of cultists to seek you out.

Should I complete Dawnguard before the main quest?

It shouldn't matter. The only change will be how you get the Dragon Elder Scroll. You'll need it for both questlines, so you'll have to get it back if you got rid of it after completing one of the questlines.

Can you start the Dragonborn DLC without being Dragonborn?

You can play through Skyrim without becoming Dragonborn, and the world is actually quite a bit different. As explained by Special_Tay, instead of heading straight to see Jarl Balgruuf in Whiterun and fighting your first dragon, you should try wandering the world to see what's out there.

What level should you join the Dawnguard?

Again, we recommend you wait until Level 10 - the game naturally builds up to the Dawnguard content by having vampires appear from level 7 up, and rumours of the Dawnguard will appear from Level 10 on, thus helping you to get wind of the quest line.
