I don't understand why you would take on a lvl 50 ancient with an unmodded DE, but yes the slide spin attack does 150 base damage without multipliers. The catch is that instead of armour ingnore damage it inflicts cut damage which is subjected to the armour resistence calculation as well as other resistence factors.

Fully modded that problem becomes less significant. I've downed lvl 60 ancients before solely with the DE. Just stun-lock them with some quick slashes enforced with either Molten Impact or North Wind to increase the stun-lock duration. Then enforced with a maxed out Fury keep using the slide spin attack and it will die fairly quickly. Sundering Strike also works with the slide attack, so that increases the damage even more so.
