Well, I can't answer the part about the ammo switch. I'd try it on the test server. What I can say is that more than 1-2 procs per power is a bad idea. I'd say if you can get decent enhancement values with the procs in there then it's ok to have just 1 or 2. Gimping the power to get procs will have low performance.|

Most complaints about DP revolve around the long animation times because that lowers the overall damage per activation.

Changing ammo doesn't alter procs in any way. Both knockback and slow procs work fine regardless of ammo type, and the control power can take/use either stun or hold (or ranged damage) procs, and both will apply regardless of ammo type.
In summery, if you can slot the proc it will work no matter the ammo.
As for loading up on procs and neglecting normal slotting, seems a bad idea to me, too much left up to the rng, and need to hit with the power for the procs to go off anyway.

That's what Hami-Os are for. Slot 2-3 of those and proc away.
