I believe you OP I have my Ghorn maxed and working on maxing DB and it's been very useful (and fun to use) like you said if you know spawn points DB wrecks, if you want to clear a zone and keep it clear for a few seconds it's nice to have. One thing I would say though (for me at least) is that I disagree about the boss enemies like Phogoth etc. Lately my Ghorn is used only for single enemy's like the above mentioned, wolf pack seems to excel more when it comes to single targets.
