After getting very annoyed with this pools seemingly high orphan rate, payout rounding, etc…  I've tried a couple different Doge only pools listed on Dogecoin's website to see how they operate.

I'm happy to report that among the pool I tested, not once did I experience an orphaned block.  Also the payout calcs were dead on.  This pool seems to round up a bit.

Generally, the pools I've tested had a higher overall hash rate.  I was thinking that my earnings would be about the same or less.  My personal earnings have gone up substantially. (15-30% depending on the pool)

My .02 fiat.

Some very excellent points being brought up here guys. 

My own concerns brought be to this thread.  Personally, I waited 12+ hours after payout "confirmation" for the payment to hit the block chain. Unacceptable. Between this, the seemingly high orphan rate\drop in revenue and "profit" meters being seriously out of tune with reality…  I'm afraid I will be moving on.

I'd be interested to hear what the operator has to say.
