Dragon gives it extra fire resistance, so it would be excellent for fire Pokemon. I think Exeggutor with the right moveset is still better for Vaporeon, but it certainly beats using Dragonite versus Vaporeon imo. Better than Jolteon. So rankwise your group vs Vape is...
1. Exeggutor (if SoB)
2. Kingdra
3. Dragonite
4. Jolteon.

Kingdra vs Vaporeon
So got my 91IV DB/O Kingdra.
Vaporeon has no resistance to dragon moveset and Kingdra has STAB + double resistance to water movesets, but has lower stats.
If I power him up, would he do a better job against vaporeon than jolteon, executor or dragonite which are my current vap attackers?

I regard DB/O-Kingdra as universal prestiger. It is perfect, when Fire and Water defenders stack up directly above each other - no urge to change attacker then, Kingdra is double resistant to both.
If you want to fight waters, i consider tangela better, if you want to fight fires, i consider vaporeon (or double-water-kingdra) better
