That really depends.

Does the non-DA form of the skill just end up feeling neutered and half-assed, while the DA form seems the norm? Can you find a way to limit usage enough, and create enough variation in effect in the DA additions relative to their base forms as to make them appealing without seeming obligatory?

Otherwise... it's just a spammy apm tax that makes core skills less responsive.

Don't get me wrong; I'd love a good implementation of DA. We just haven't seen one yet. HW's was almost there. StB's was far from it, though perhaps much of that can be blamed on surrounding factors.
