Assuming you are attacking a single target. There are potential situations where you might be mobbed, but ILW would just be overkill on a single monster.
Well yeah, I mentioned that in post 6 ("the corner cases mentioned above"), just didn't want to repeat everything there.

Yeah, I think I missed some of your post. My main point is that I don't understand why DF is even being compared to ILW. They seem to be two very different spells that do very different things, but people seem largely focused on the amount of damage they deal to a single static target dummy. ILW is a lot of burst damage that does decent damage on a miss, and that will often be useful. DF is a buff that doesn't cost an action and increases your damage/attack by a slight amount for a period of time. I know I have fought a lot more packs of kobolds/goblins/orcs so far than individual boss monsters, but YMMV

It's being compared because along with bless, they are the offensive oriented level 1 cleric spells.
Just wondering, at the low levels, what has been the average lenght of your encounters?
