yea i seem to remember a pimpest play or something a few years ago where a protoss used maelstrom on a group of i think it was mostly greater spire level zerg air, couldnt think of their names or anything for the life of me though

but this sounds like a really good idea that could catch on if proves effective (aka once people see some top level foreign players do it and then are like oh it works let me try)

Well vs Terran swarm makes marines/golis useless and plague is pretty devastating vs MnM (mana drain) and anything Mech (Vessels most of all)
VS Protoss these spells do less damage since swarm doesn't work vs Zealots (Archons) and plague only reduced half the HP because of shields (to be fair, it's probably more like 66% effectiveness since shields take full damage etc but whatever) and I reckon you'd be better off with +1 storm.

Don't discount the importance of plague against Protoss. The damage it inflicts is not counterable, and in a supply-capped situation, being able to weaken a large force like that by 50-66% presents an enormous advantage. Units can only be replaced at a certain rate. For example, if a small force takes about 60 seconds to create, and you are capable of eliminating an equal-size army in 15 seconds, that's 45 seconds of unimpeded damage you are inflicting to his peons or structures.
