On paper? No. In theory he is the worst dragon as he brings no diversity that you can not get from indies and his breath only does damage over time. A red dragon with F4-5 would allow you access to Zmeys and such and is also quit popular.

No, the main reason why the green dragon is popular is because of a "bug" in CBM were he gets dom 2 and the other dragons only gets dom 1. (Working as intended and will not be fixed apparently) This difference is not visible when looking at the dragon. Only by choosing it and looking at the scales menu.

And dragons are perfectly viable to use without dom 9+. In fact, the reason why they only start with dom 1 is because they were intentionally designed to not need Awe. I think all dragons I have seen in MP have had less than 9 dom actually.
