I've tried dac-hex exactly once (and managed to get an editor to take it), and I'm trying it again at present, largely because I stumbled on this thread and the rhythm got going in my head again. But I agree with Tim: what's going in my head is a six-stress rough accentual line. I find it next to impossible to stick with dactyls. Given the freedom to understand it as a six-tress line, I think it's a lot of fun to write.
Maybe too much fun: I also find that I have to take extra care that everything in those long lines pulls its weight.
