Plaguing a group of zealots or dragoons makes them completely get dominated by hydralisks, or almost anything. It's an amazing spell.
Dark swarm makes photon cannons, bunkers, marines, dragoons, scouts.... everything with a ranged attack, useless against your ground units.
In a single phrase, they let you dominate larger armies easily, unless you're just completely overwhelmed.

Against Terran, it's useful to Plague a set of bunkers or any defensive barricade, then let a swarm of zerglings finish off the buildings/units.
Dark swarm is better against Protoss. It prevents enemy units from attacking any of your units that are under the dark swarm.

I think dark swarm is better against Terran.
With Protoss, their zealots can run in and you won't have hydralisks to back you up. Reavers can still hit you, templar, dark templar, and some other stuff
Against Terran, they really only have 1 melee unit (and hence not affected by dark swarm) and that's the firebat. Tanks in siege mode can still hurt you, but it's cut in half, because it's only the splash that hurts you.

Dark Swam is pretty much the great Defiler spell. It doesn't do any damage, but the best part about it is that it's a very anti-air spell. Of course, there's always a Psi Storm or Irradiate to discourage you from relying too much on D Swarm...

Always bring spare zerglings with you if you're going to attack with defilers. It will run out of energy fast and with it's consume ability, you can replenish it quickly for more darks swarm/plague spells.

Aw, I just thought of a wonderful idea for Defilers. If a protoss player has cannons set up, make the defilers go in and swarm the cannons so that your forces can attack without being hurt. Hurray!
