Yeah, by now on my elf I don't rely on it really except to bring the Dragon down, and then I find more satisfaction in beating the shit out of the dragon than doing anything else. Not that the Shout relay time allows for much else.
Meanwhile, I never use it to call weather or animals, as I'm rarely out in the wilds fighting and don't need the help with the dragons (perhaps I'll need more if I enter into a situation like you found yourself in). I've used Whirlwind Sprint a handful of times, and Fire Breathe always seemed to set my companion on fire to disastrous effect. Disarm or Unrelenting Force was useful against a bunch of undead minions but otherwise...
It is a cool concept, but the "time" you have to wait is far too long and I think would be more appreciated if it were halved. I also like the little notation that because of this power, battles between dragons are actually verbal sparring. That adds something to the story. Combat-wise though...
