If it passes the “This is ridiculous” test, I believe it’s OK. If the dropdowns start to look like Space Shuttle instrumentation, they’re getting too crazy.

When should you use them and when shouldn’t you? For instance if you have a medical or dental practice that offers a number of different procedures, should you list EVERY procedure in the nav, or should you break it out differently. What’s your take?

Re the “duplicate content toilet bowl of death” both your suggestions are great. I would add a third, which I’ve employed successfully on none other than a site rife with exploding menus: event tracking. To do this to scale requires more than a little JavaScript chops (I’m fortunate to have a developer with just such chops), but can provide some pretty actionable information on navigational behavior if properly deployed.
