My take on dp is that it's a below average set. The reason it's so popular right now is simply because it's new and flashy. It's a very good looking set and I love the concept, but it's performance is simply sub par.
The animations are all very long, and this fact should result in better than average damage, when in fact, the opposite is true.
I love the change ammo feature, but the improvements gained from doing so are to miniscule to justify an entire power imo. For example, when you switch to fire rounds, you're giving up secondary effect for more damage, and still you're only doing mediocre damage with extremely long animations.
I also love the hold power, but after that, I'm not sure where all the utility is I keep hearing about. Again, you can use the extra damage (fire rounds) to do mediocre damage, or the chem and cold rounds to do supar damage with negligible secondary effects.
So imo, the set definitely needs some buffing, but I love the idea, love the animations and truly hope the set gets a bit of a buff so that it's actually competitive substance wise after the flash wears off.
the biggest problem with DP for me is this: You miss with your attacks but never ever fumble throwing your guns in the air and catching them. What we should see is a miss changes the animation to a fumble involving tripping over, spilling the guns all over the place, the impact of the dropping one pistol accidentally setting it off and shooting the wielder in the head.
