I had Fang as my 4th melee, got DE later...so far:

Fang is just so much more fun, and it is more effective against grineer.

DE has stagger, but it is limited by the med-sized arc range, not as goo as say Scindo. Fang on the other hand has a great jump attack that knocks all the enemies.

Both weapons are good against the infested. On light infested, DE is much better, but against ancients, Fang deals 50% more damage and is far superior-jump attack and stab away. Fang is next to useless on the hordes, but then again you have other weapons to choose from.

I found that unless you specifically lure enemies into tighter spots, Fangs DPS is much higher. Fang: 3 attacks at rate of 1.5 at 15 dmg. DE 1 attack at rate of 1.3 at 30 dmg, Fang deals at least 40 % more damage against single targets.

Against Corpus, DE is nicer because of the slide attack multiplier. Then again, I found myself handling Corpus ease with fang as well.

DE is more forgiving to other classes due to its range. Fang needs either Loki or Volt to be an effective weapon.
