Pretty much what the title says, Blood Magic is very dangerious, but why isn't there other powers like demon summoning, necromancy, etc?

There might be more, we don't know yet.
The things you mentioned:
- Blood magic includes the summoning of demons. Apparently. Though this might be Chantry propaganda.
- Necromancers are around. There are a couple of Darkspawn Necromancers in Origins and Awakening that I can think of. How developed it is as a branch of magic we can't tell right now. Essentially, though, since corpses are reanimated by Fade spirits, necromancy in Thedas is tantamount of demonology anyway. Which, as I said above, is tied to blood magic, apparently.
Also, if you go by the Chantry version of things, Shapeshifting is also a dark power. It's not a Circle-sanctioned branch of magic and it's associated with witches of the wild.

After I thought about it, they threw demon summoning and necromancy in with blood magic, at least thats what NPC's can do with it. However, its a poor fit and they really need their own schools in my opinion. I would have loved to have an option for necromancer or demon summoner, sadly the only really bad/cool power is blood magic which doesn't seem that impressive to my mage character honestly.
Edit: Or at least I would like to see my character blood mage pull off some of the same things the NPC's seem capable of doing.
