Celestial Dracolines

Dracolines have some cool looking models, but they don't seem to be used much competitively. Indeed, I'm the only person I've seen playing them at a tournament. Why? As the warscroll says Dracolines are fearsome beasts of Azyr whose roars can unman even the staunchest foes. When their savagery is
