DD zealot is a joke really, it require ppl to play "around" you. ie. you add little to your group that can't be done better by other specialized classes, you "can" switch back and forth with one set of gear though. but you can't change tactic mid combat. What this means is you can farm other ppl when your group is better or more numerous (like dps shaman/AM) but not optimized fighting equal gear/skill group. It's a win more spec

DD zealot = AoE 50% heal debuff on crits. thats no joke in oRvR....

They can also AoE debuff armor, Corp resists, group buffs and still use a ritual. On paper they seem pretty good. The problem I have had is with disrupts and range. You have to get really close to hit something that isnt tanks.

I have capped Intel on a sorc and get disrupted all the time, it's much worse on a zealot. My few brief forays into DPS zealot have left a bad taste in my mouth. It's hard to get a lot of Intel and a lot of crit on a zealot. I'm sure it's better with higher RR, better gear and an organized group, but I dont think it's great in most circumstances.
