Like I said in my answer, it's a dull way to kill Dracula, but it's practical. They couldn't take the dude in a fair fight during the day; at night he'd be a nightmare, and they'd be stupid to try to fight him then anyway.
It's been repeated countless times that they must make haste on slaying the vampire before dusk, so they're making practical decisions. Stoker made his denouement anticlimactic to the reader because it's not intended to be flashy; it's intended to be realistic. In my opinion, it's the best ending they could get.
But the ending is not the real deal on the denouement, actually, it's how did they ponder on killing Dracula. Notice how they changed the topic through commenting about justice, and Stoker had to think of that part which none can expect, actually.
I just... If he really didn't care about a flashy ending, why include the fight with the "gypsies" at all?? Why kill Morris? We got, like, one line of how it set Dracula back to a more pure and peaceful state. If he really wanted to talk about justice and the like, why so much distraction? :/

I hated hated hated the end. After hundred pages of " I hear water, everytink is dark" and other repetitive information, and praying, and taking hands together, and crying, and making promises to each other ...The end. There is not even a little fighting. And I still do not get how Morris dies. And how and when the two paties of men meet.
