I think I can resolve this in one sentence.

As to why the Lavodes seem to be mostly Dzur and Dragon, well, who else 
would fight Gods?

Yes.  The same quote mentioned they're all holding little sticks like a
wizard's wand/staff.

And it makes sense than most of the Lavodes would be Dzur.  We've been told
most wizards are Dzur or Athyra.  (Most of the ones we've SEEN have been
elite Dragons, but that's because Vlad hangs out with Dragons.)  Conversely,
being a warrior-wizard seems like the natural culmination of being Dzur.
