Iām deadset on finding a viable use for Air Heavy Danku, despite how shitty it is. The only uses ive found are neutral jump in rare occasions (as you saw) and flying over a dhalsim ultra.
When i play, i notice in matches ill either do really good in the beginning and as soon as i get a solid lead i make a whole bunch of mistakes, and the game becomes very close, or i get a bad start and that sets the course for the rest of the match.
I havent exactly found out how to take advantage of my momentum like you said, because im afraid of random ass uppercuts because of how most people play online (thank you championship mode) Any more specific suggestions? sorry 
Yeah Iām also one of those players that try to find purpose of a characters entire move set. Predicting jump ins and punishing with air hk danku is 300 stun! At least 200 with 2 connected hits. I understand about rank mode, but higher level players you can attempt more mind games and pressure. Moments where I turtled you did safe strings over and over, with Dan you need to take risks with wake up tick throws, mix up some baits. For example in corners you did some air knees that kept me locked. To get better at controlling momentum you need to learn when to take risk. Sorry, canāt really explain it, itās one of those āinstinctā kind of things to me.
Air mk or hk Danku is pretty useless. I think the only time Iāve really ever used it was to chase around Akuma players. But i wouldnāt suggest really ever doing that unless the player is REALLY bad. Seems very unsafe all around. And the EX version to hover over ultras if i did something stupid.
Also the game sort of forces you to turtle up half way through the match. Which is tough for Dan seeing as how if you hold back you are probably going to end up at full screen again and getting back, especially against the shotos is a pain. I get hit by random ultras ALL the time. Usually because Iām going for the win. The one style that brings me close to victory is the same style that brings me defeat. ARGGG science is a cruel mistress!

J.lk danku says hello.
edit: but yes, J.Hk danku is useless, it doesnāt even seem to have pursuit or somesuch properties? i mean it can hit the first two hits and then just whif the third one?

āPursuit propertiesā just means it can juggle methinks, of all Dankuu the first hit doesnāt pursuit while the 2nd and 3rd can.
Air MK and HK Dankuu whiff hits due to where and how they make contact. I found HK Dankuu only really useful for catching people trying to jump away from you. Air EX Dankuu does more damage than ground EX Dankuu methinks, just not really many ways of landing it 
Obviouslyā¦ Are you slow or something? Instead of reading what YOU actually QUOTED you just wanted to type some witty comment.
I even edited it for you. Happy?
Air EX Danku is 50 damage per hit, ground is 40. As for MK and HK Danku there arenāt typically safe moves, you have to predict your opponents pattern, but to me even if a move is situational, best to learn it IMO. Also landing it really pushes your opponent far into the corner, and everyone knows to fear Dan when they are in the corner lol.
Air EX Danku is 50 damage per hit, but itās also 100 stun per hit, which is a massive 300 stun if you can somehow connect all three hits. A grounded HK Danku does the same damage as the air EX Danku, but the second and third hits only do 50 stun each to the first hitās 100.

Would be good if all hits of EX Dankuu could juggle, thatād actually give us a reason to do KRK FADC > EX Dankuu combo
I use the HK air Danku for timing/spacing shenanigans after setting up a predictable pattern with lk Danku.

Iām totally up for sparring with people to work on my Dan. Iām really starting to enjoy him - heās already replaced Dictator as my āmainā main, I just need to keep working on tactics and execution. Tips about strategies would be appreciated too.
j.hk Danku has uses against Sethās aerial attacks, Dhalsim too. Also to punish fireball spammers, for example if you are jumping a projectile too far out for an SRK to tag you (against Ryu usually since Kenās hp.SRK has so much distance) where they might dash in or try for a sweep or c.mk poke, you perform the hk.danku very late, just before hitting the ground and youāll usually hit them with the last two hits.
Also use it to mix up your jumping arcs, when Iām screwing with Dictator or Chun Li I use it a ton. Say Iām playing a game of run away and they are chasing me down, for example Dictator might be using a head stomp to close distance while buffering a charge, Iāll jump back and dash in a few times perhaps to get him expecting that. Then when I use the hk.danku Iāll land short and can punish his head stomp (provided the prick doesnāt hit me with it in the air).
Also I use it a bit when backed into the corner to mix up the rhythm of the game.
I saw how ancient the posts were after I posted!
