As an exclusive grav/_ troller, I've had a lot of success w/dimension shift and team teleport. You need to make sure other players are aware, but I've saved so many ppl by dropping dimension on the tank and team teleporting multiple people who were within seconds of death from adds.
It helps to have a chat function added to your dimension shift and telling your team about it before fighting the first time so they know to properly respond to it. That takes dimension shift from a liability power to one of the strongest in the game. And more importantly, from a power you feel concerned about ever clicking to one you actively use right when off cd.
Also, yes, dropping aoe's inside of dimension shift is great, but they need to be 'location' aoe's and not 'target' aoes. At least in my experience, 'target' aoes get recked by the dimension shift inside-outside issue.
