Fighting fire with fire only leaves a bunch of burned down houses.
Fighting DoS with DoS only results in a lot of companies being included as collateral damage.
The intelligent person fights fire with water (unless it is an oil-based fire, then use sand).
DoS should be fought using proper network configurations, egress filtering, antivirus, and patches.
How did they manager to blackhole the subnet? Poor configuration.
How about the SYN flood? Egress and ingress filtering, TCP SYN cookies.
How about the DNS poisoning? Patches.
And where did the zombies come from? Antivirus and patches.
Right now, "we" -- as the entire Internet community -- allow people to live independently and run vulnerable and infected systems. Until we begin acting like a unified community, we will continue to have problems like DoS.
