I don't think that DOF makes or breaks a shot - but I do think it's an important element. DOF is a tool within the photographers tool box. Learning to control it is important to your growth as an accomplished photographer. People who don't understand or appreciate DOF are simply uneducated about the art and science of photography.
Regarding the picture - I love the DOF but not too crazy about how you cropped off the girls face in the background : /
Here's a screencap from a recent video I shot with the very delicious Sunny Leone. I've used DOF to bring the viewers eye to the area of the screen where I want him to look. The face for me in this shot is not as important as the pussy area - that's why I decided to throw the face out of focus. Cinematographers use this technique all the time in the movies to draw attention to things that they want to emphasis.
