I used him exactly once while leveling my Demon Hunter, and that was to make a magic Belt somewhere in Act II Normal I think (hadn't found a good one since the beginning of Act I). The rest of the time I was either too low level to use anything I could craft, or by the time I could it was so far below what I had already acquired as to be useless.
That has largely been my experience too. Blizzard needs to plug those gaps if they want the Blacksmith to be useful.
My DPS is sub-2000. I will look into raising it. The Hand Crossbow I am using is also, coincidentally, the strongest bow (at all) I have found; I have not yet found any decent stats on Quivers either. If I get my hands on a decent Quiver, I will see what that does to my DPS. If I can, I will look at switching between Quiver and Shield on an as-need basis.
May the wind pick up your heels and your sword strike true.
