The specific wording of "it deals damage" could be very relevant, such as in EDH.

I had a nice combo with it when I had a Mycoloth with 10 +1/+1 counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep you put 10 1/1 saproling tokens onto the battlefield and you can divide 10 damage on creatures or players =D

Seems underrated to me at 3.2
People love "come into the battlefield" effects on their creatures. This card makes your creatures into burn/removal. What's not to love about that? Pretty obviously works best in a deck with ramp and meaty creatures.
i'm really shocked no one has brought up the field wipe combo with Hornet Queen

I like this card in combination with Ball Lightning (and/or the myriad of variants) and Grave Pact. You play your creature, deal damage through Warstorm Surge, attack, then when it dies, Grave Pact forces your opponents to sac. Which then paves the way for the rest of Ball Lightning's friends to clean up whatever's left!

EDIT: sorry, i didn't realize balefire dragon only works on combat damage.
