Absolutely not. Why would you not want the benefits of DSC when moving?
The only time I would use DTC is if I was stuck in a snowbank and wanted to spin the tires to chew my way out. DTC will allow more wheelspin than DSC. As soon as I was moving I would re-engage DSC.
The biggest confusion with DTC is that some people think it is traction control (which it is), but don't realize that DSC (which is already on) is stability control + traction control. Engaging DTC turns off the stability control, in addition to allowing a little more wheelspin before engaging the brakes on the spinning wheel.
