1. A DTS can be used /w high pings. You can lead a target with a DTS just like a rifle, it just takes a little observation when you're hacking away. Not full proof, but possible. Although I have a high speed connection, it's iffy at best and my living on the west coast of NA situates me far from most augs servers which are traditionally east coast.
2. A DTS can be used on a big map, but pick your fights. A smart opponent will keep well away from you, but if they're aggressive see if they'll follow you into a smaller space. This drastically improves your odds of killing someone.
3. I prefer not to use targetting with DTS. You ARE going miss DTS swings. Having ballistic gives you that extra time to connect.
4. I think the DTS is enormous fun to play with. It can be challenging and strategy oriented if you want; manipulating players into fight situations that favour you. It's also a great weapon to run in screaming with. You don't have to think much, just point and hold down left mouse button.

As someone said, the best way to is keep any of the above in mind, but find a playing style that suits you personally.
