My thoughts are that this DBing is great stuff but you have to taylor make it for your situation. Do what is in your gut with DBing in the background.
I think I would go the other way on this. A lot of DBing goes against what your gut may say. I think have a better chance by following DB principles, and with your gut in the background, to break ties. It seems to me that more often than not when someone says, "DB says this, but my sitch is different", they live to regret it. Obviously there are exceptions to every rule.
