The problem in giving a number for the dealer is that it depends on how many players are at the table. With ony one, when the player breaks (about 16% of the time), the dealer never draws. That lowers his average, of course. With progressively more players at the table, it becomes more and more unlikely that all will break, so the dealer's average stabilizes at about (I think) 2.6 or 2.65 for s17 and, obviously, a bit higher for h17, although, off the top of my head, I don't know the exact number.
