Banishment vs Dust to Dust -- which do you prefer?

[magnate]

I prefer Banishment against hordes, because the hordes generally have fairly low MR and low hp, and also because you need to keep casting it over and over (so fatigue would suck). I've had normal 50-gold indy priests rack up over 100 kills in a couple of fights.

Dust to Dust, IIRC, only kills one target, so it's far far less efficient against hordes - not to mention the fact that your casters eventually pass out unless you have Relief on hand. It is much better against even mini-SCs though (Banes, Mound Kings et al.).
