The vault loot is pretty good! So essentially, you enter a vault and you click on a shrine that give you "Pearls of Warding". These pearls will protect you from the traps throughout the vaults. However many pearls you have left at the end of the vault = how many chests you can open at the end.
Don't get me wrong, the itemisation in the game is still super annoying (but hopefully fixed next season - not holding my breath though). But at least having a consistent way of dropping multiple legendaries and sacreds through the vaults is a good way to upgrade your gear.
The pet doesn't help you collect gold, but it does help you fight. It can't die, but it can be staggered. It definitely boosts your character a lot. You get different 'tuning stones' which you can equip your pet with to boost your character in different ways. For example, my pet has a tuning stone in that ensures my barb never looses fury. It can also tank hits from mobs, and (slowly) kill mobs for you.
Levelling is on par with S2. They've just released an event called the "Lunar Awakening". This event enhances the shrines found across the game, and when you have a shrine buff you get double XP. More about that here -

All in all - I'd say S2 was a lot more fun with the Vampiric powers. But I'm still playing and having a good time. If you're on the fence, I'd just wait until S4 for when they're overhauling itemisation.
