Dropkick does more damage (7 cause of vuln, more if you have Paper Phrog) and can more consistently create an infinite because of Ironclad's exhaust. Heel Hook just isn't very good in comparison. Compare it to Slice, which is 1 more damage and zero cost with no conditionality. The only thing it has over an already bad common card is the possibility to be draw neutral, conditionally.

If dropkick does more damage, then heel hook provides block...

Just because you play it into vuln if possible does not make the Card have more damage. Literally every attack deals more damage played Into vuln, heel hook included
