"DHS is only good for charge attacks"

Precisely, and since it has the highest melee dps using charge attack, it should be used for just that. With all other weapons: Fang, Zoren, DE,  they will scale poorly on the higher 40+ levels. However, wtih DHS, you can still one hit all normal enemies and double/triple hit heavier units like ancients. This is awesome seeing how maxed reflex coil will give you roughly 0.8 sec for each charge attack. Only noticeable downside is the difficulty of it, but if you have Loki or Ash, this is the best, BEST weapon because enemies cant stagger you when invisibility.

"Fang is only good for one on one." Well, DPS wise neither Fang or DE can outmatch DHS or Scindo in any situation. For an example, DHS unmodded deals 150/1.46 roughly 100 dmgs per sec, fang is 60~50 dps, DE is around 30~35 However, when I took 28 DE on Pluto, the experience was less than impressive. DE shines on particular grineer mobile defense missions with tons of bunched up lancers, but this is rather a rare occasion. The stagger 100% is quite useless as if you are surrounded by enemies, they will still bitch slap you. Also, this has something to do with the way game handles the stagger animation: they cannot be constantly stagger locked except very few early game bosses. Only thing that DE has upperhand over Fang is crit, as atm due to some bug the organ shatter does not scale Fang's dmg. However, this can be offset by Fang's polarity slot for greater dmg amount of dmg mods in the end game.

Tl;DR IF you are an Ash, go for charge DPS weapons.
