Say you needed gas, forgot your wallet, and I gave you $10. You could buy $10 in gas to get you home to get your wallet, or you could buy $10 in lottery tickets and hope you win the big prize which can afford all the gas you'll need for a while. One of those is a far better use of that $10.00. Now if you have nothing to lose (you are out of spells, running isn't an option and death is imminent.) Maybe that gamble is worth it. Likewise if wasting an action isn't a loss (such as out of combat) the price is negligible. But the grand value is pulling victory out of the jaws of defeat and with such a high cost with such a low chance of success, you're probably better off casting a cantrip than using DI. Your chance to hit is more likely better and you can influence the d20 roll with a lot of effects.</blockquote>
