Last time I checked this only works for very slow-moving targets. Like Urrox the flame prince in PoE, any other enemy will just walk outside of the radius since they're programmed to do so.
I've never owned a Gjally, (day one player with the worst possible luck) so the rocket that have taken that role have mostly been Hunger. But I've used Dragonsbreath on a few occasions, found out it works best for slow moving targets which there are very few of.

Mainly: Crota, Atheon, Skolas, Urrox, Ulrot (or whatever his name is), Kaliks, Nexus Mind, Valus (strike), Sepiks, Phogoth, and probably a couple other bosses. It is not as effective at mobs, unless you learn how to push the enemy back into the original solar flare (hence why it has a fast fire rate)
