What I am wondering is if there is some situation in an Operation or Hardmode where you are forced to cast KI/Nanotech to the point of energy starvation without Adrenaline probe up and hence would be forced to use (talented) DS to regen.

I do not use DS at all and find to be useless to the point where it's no longer on a bar. The SP cast after each KI + additional SP procs provide ample regeneration time and far superior throughput to DS.

I seldom use DS during the hardmode instances, I most of the time have good enough energy control to stay high enough. In harder fights I might use it as a filler when I have nothing else to do and not full on energy, most of the fights are quite short anyway.

In operations on the other hand the fights are longer and it is very viable to use DS as extra regeneration when nothing else is needed. I would never remove it from my bar while in an operation, in a tight situation where adrenaline probe is on cd, the energy is running low and the damage is heavy DS can be the only thing that can get your energy up in time.
