Faced DE last night with two hydras. One shot down fairly early due to curse (random selection on my BSB) getting through and having bolt throwers in range. I honestly don't think most people realise how effective it can be.

I would tend to favour Heavens against DE's as the re-rolls bypass their magic protection.

I guess Hotek can't be everywhere though!

No hotek in this game, fortunately. It wasn't an open list, but he put his sorceress and BSB in the black guard, so I knew there was no ring there. No other command, and his dreadlord was on a manticore that he kept well away from the centre for three turns. But yes, I would tend to agree with you, although as I wanted high for my BSB, I could've taken shield instead.

This is why Seer Staff is so good on the Lvl 2 Mage.

If going High Magic I usually choose Fury of Khaine & Curse of Arrow attraction.
