Not true again, it is not more reliable it is supposed to be faster by being accessed in more locations. Do your home work before correcting people that know more then you.
Why do you only have two name servers? Try better dns like at least three in different global positions then ditch the cloud hype. It's a just a cheesy sales pitch and at this point more harm then good.
Unless you think you can run a network better then Amazon?
The main reason is several additional points of failure. More load, more hardware, all for what faster loading speeds? I will put our premium bandwidth against any cloud any day and be much faster most of the time.

Dreamhost is a nightmare and hostgator is about the same. Really worth saving a cup of coffee a month over people? Sorry for the rant but you have to wonder why people ruin business opportunities over a couple bucks.
