I agree; it's about damn time Wendy got something new to help her fight on even ground with everyone. Wendy isn't exactly weak, especialy for a child, she's probably the strongest child mafe out there (pretty sure Chelia is like 14, can't count that as a kid so much as a teenager), since....the only other one we've seen is Romeo and he's about as weak and pathetic as they come. It's kinda sad; Gajeel is stronger than Wendy (and honestly the coolest Dragon Slayer short of bloody Laxus) but he hasn't acquired Dragon Force.

Then we remember he doesn't really NEED it

And once again, I have to agree. I thought when Erza started to kick Kyouka's ass that everybody in Tartarus was a joke. I'd completely given up like "...eh, this is standard Hiro bullshit, we aren't getting anywhere", but no, she's actually fine, and the demons are giving everybody a hard time. So I can say I'm looking forward to what comes next.
