Glad to see someone else beat me to the punch on dispelling the "no non-Elezen/Hyur Ishgardians exist" myth. IIRC, there's also a Roe heretic held in captivity in Whitebrim. There's a longer and more abstract argument to be made here but I don't feel like writing that all out again at the moment.
Now onto the subject of certain special dragon powers. I believe it would be wise to note that the abilities high level dragoons are given, starting with Dragonfire Dive, never see canon use outside of an Azure Dragoon. It's entirely possible, and in my opinion most likely, that the greatest feat of strength achievable for a standard dragoon elite is the ability to jump in extraordinary fashions.
Given Ishgard's history and culture I simply find it extremely hard to believe that an entire wing of their military would openly use dragon magic derived from dragon blood.
