Does the ring of hircine allow you to keep your lycanthropy perks?

[Dr. Cheese]

after some research and reading a thread with a similar question to mine I have discovered that you cannot access the lycanthropy perks through obtaining the ring, but if your lycanthropy tree is fully leveled do these perks stay with you indefinitely or do they get erased if you cure yourself?

youdo not loose any experience or perk progression if you cure yourself. this will allow you to pick up where you left off if you should be come a werewolf again.

The Dawnguard add-on allows you to restore your lycanthropy with help from Aela the Huntress. You can do this only once; if you cure it again, you cannot regain your lycanthropy from Aela. If you restore your lycanthropy, you will keep all of the werewolf perks you had before, and will also keep the same totem benefit that you had active when you were a werewolf previously.

but if you do not decide to take lycanthropy again for a more vampiric pursuit do your perks still apply without lycanthropy to the beast mode acquired from the ring of hircine?

[Clever Monkey]

if you are a vampire or even just cured you lose the power to turn into a werewolf and vice versa regardless of the ring.
of course there are mods that allow you to have access to both but for that you will have to find them yourself.

The perks only are in effect while you are in werewolf form. They have no carry over effect if you still can become a werewolf, but are in human form. So you will not be able to use vampirism grip or call wolves to fight for you while you are in human form. So, a cure means you can't access your perks until you are converted again. Also you will notice that as a werewolf, only your werewolf perks increase, not your one handed or majic effects are not updated as you are not using any of those.

...Palm to the face...

I knew something was amiss here. I played the game pre 1.6 patch on 360. For future reference anyone thinking "alright fully level your werewolf, cure yourself, acquire the Ring of Hircine, become a vampire, get money" check yourself before you wreck yourself. RoH only applies to werewolves now fellas. Let my ignorance be your warning not to waste a couple hours mindlessly grinding on bandits.
