Getting Dante is generally less grindy than some of the more recent frames especially with the pity system they added. It also came with some nice updates like better markers for Disruption and in a recent patch, made Rage/Hunter Adrenaline/Vex Armor usable even with overguard active.
From the time I've spent playing him, he feels mostly like a caster/Equinox with faster ramp-up and better survivability. I tend to play more weapon buff focus frames like Harrow/Wisp/Saryn with augments so Dante probably isn't really the frame for me. He isn't a bad choice though for anyone that likes caster style warframes/nukes though assuming you're fine with line of sight checks.
It would be nice if they would add some of the new game modes to the sortie rotation. It's nice that they've done that they've added some of the new missions from Zaramin/Sanctum to the steel path rotation and Omnia Fissures though.
