There's actually a major security issue with running DHCP on an AD DC with
DNS service as well.

I can't remember the specifics, which are laid out in Technet, but in a
nutshell, it is possible for any box receiving a DHCP assigned address to
update any DNS record in a zone which is configured for Dynamic Updates.

Long story short - run DHCP on separate boxes whenever possible.
