it is not real common that people link using the domain name. that is more the exception than the rule in my opinion.
search engines do not parse out words to break them down into mini words or other words that exist inside them to reevaluate them.
I generally like not using dashes, but many of the people here find them effective. The reason some people do not like them is that some think they harm branding. Everyone has their own opinion on the dash vs no dash...either way you look at it, it is still really important that you get some of your keywords in the domain name so that it is easier to get inbound links with those keywords in them
right now having keywords in the domain name is not an extremely large direct factor on relevancy, but algorithms can be reevaluated / changed over time.
