I personally believe Blast > Divine Charge post-BB due to the lack of holy-weak mobs after a certain point. In my experience with it, it is most useful at Miner Zombies and Kacchuu Musha. I have stopped attempting to find Kacchuu in favor of actually grinding out my levels/bossing/questing, reducing my need of holy. Now that I am 138, Miners aren't as good as other mobs (if they ever were). The only reason I use them is to get Gold Teeth for my EoFs.
As for Blast, I use it a lot since I boss a lot and because after the first hot time, I got rid of my HH (then 23) to max holy and add a bit to Blast. But, after the second hot time, I decided to put Blast at 20, which was then my max level for it having failed 6 Blast30s beforehand. This put my Holy at 6. The thing is, my damage on holy-weak did not change. Blast's gain in damage neutralized Holy's loss of damage. And now, after the third hot time, I have entirely removed holy and have only lost my advantage over holy-weak mobs, but have gained around 10k per hit in damage on fire-weak mobs (which are more abundant for my level range than holy-weak).
All in all, I believe Blast > Holy due to the lack of holy-weak mobs and the fact that Blast neutralizes damage loss if you go from 20->1 holy and raise Blast in it's place, assuming you can and don't have maxed Blast.
