I usually consider Kasumi K2, Ooshio K2 and Arashio K2 as multi-purpose anti-installation DDs. The three of them all have some strong stats to begin with and the ability to equip a number of different equipments just makes the three of them an intergral part of my DD fleet. (I even consider these three as a much more important exsistance then my Yuudachi K2 and Ayanami K2.) These three are far too valuable to be designated as pure OASW DDs and there are better ways to utilize them then to send them dumping depth charges on subs.

By the way, I never get what's with the hate with these three Asashio-class DDs in a number of forums. I get that Ooshio and Arashio both get a ton of flak because they need to use blueprints, but apart from the blueprint problem I really don't understand in which way they deserve such negative feedback. (I once got branded as a noob just because I defended Ooshio K2 and Kasumi K2 were two decent ships that's worth keeping.)
