Lol, spears used to have one of the best PA's in the game: Dus Majarra. I heard it got nerfed since the Supplemental Update though, but it used to be very strong and provided a way to easily get around enemies.
Dus Robado is also good for attacking surrounding enemies, similar to the Tornado Break PA for swords. If I recall, Dus Robado hits harder, but Tornado Break can hit more enemies (or vice-versa, I can't remember lol), although I think whip PA's would be better off for hitting multiple enemies.
As for Dus Daggas... I don't know how well it works nowadays. I just remember it being good in pre-AotI PSU, and then it just kinda fell by the wayside when Dus Majarra came out, lol.
The spear's normal attacks can be awkward to use sometimes (a thrusting motion rather than a slashing motion like the other weapons), although this can be avoided if you keep a lock on your enemy.
But yeah, unless they got severely nerfed since I last played, I've used spears on pretty much any class that can use them, save for maybe Fortegunner, and even then, a lot of FG's liked to carry one for bullet-resistant enemies - I preferred a Saber + Crossbow, though.
