>DDOSes must be intrinsically black-hat, right?

No. While I agree there's no red-team contribution in a DDOS, quite a few people regarded Anonymous DDOSes on Wikileaks detractors (MasterCard, et al) as the digital equivalent of a sit-in. That seems a bit of a stretch to me also, but certainly there's some application of DDOS that's not purely black-hat.
