Dragon-soul infused weapons and armor is an awesome idea. Call it Living Dragonscale/Dragonbone/Dragonsword and make those the best in the game. That would make it more understandable for regular dragonarmor to be weaker than daedric. Although one could argue dragonbone is still the best, since it is lighter and (I think) hits the armor cap with HA perks.
I think the dragonbone looks better than the dragonscale.

Surely the weight shouldnt be a an issue as you can get a perk in Heavy that makes equipped armour weigh nothing so dragon being lighter is useless to my warrior character
