The whole point of having Dewey implemented would be that you can "cluster" books by high level category. So that you can locate books that are related to, but not necessarily precisely, what you were looking for initially.
As for being "at the mercy of", I find that I am currently "at the mercy of" the persons that assigned tags to a book in BookThing or Isbndb. The only difference between that and Dewey is that Dewey has been assigned by people who are experts at classification. So currently I have to laboriously go thru the imported tags and remove tags that are totally useless and often just plain wrong. At least, by importing Dewey, we could start from a known reference point and add tags that are meaningful to ourselves from there.

Curious. I have no trouble sorting with tags. Have you tried using the tag browser?
