It should be noted that the input for Command Grab is much simpler than you think. While it is down, back, forward 3, there's a trick to it; by pressing down, forward, you can delay the forward 3 up to a short time after and the command grab still comes out. (For those who have difficulty with the inputs.) This works for ALL command grabs in the game.
Are you saying the input is DFF3?

I'll be updating this a little more over the week. Might have a new perspective on Bane as well.
I've got a few new things I've figured with him as well. I'll try to help out and add anything useful I come up with.

and Doombawkz , I've been using your suggestions with the normal grabs. It's working well for me.

Glad to hear it :D
Grabbing is sooo good, but it has its shortcomings. Luckily for us, we can overcome these shortcomings as well.
Plain to say if you do it too often, the opponent will attempt to tech it. Our reach is beyond the grab range, so we can score some huge hits off of it.

I had some guy conditioned to expect the throw to the point where he wasn't even blocking in anticipation of the tech. Then it was meter burning, spine snapping Body Press time.

I dabble with Bane in casuals and I too noticed that JD3 > b+23 is either ridiculously unsafe on block due to the gap, or you need to hit super deep.

my experience is that you need to land the jd3 pretty deep to get it to combo with anything. jd3 is a great move but i'm not sure what the best followups are to continue pressure

Get your guns on. Sheriff is back.
Sooooooooo...how's everyone's pressure game doing now that Bane can dash so well? Also just wanted to say that dash plus new venom balances mean I can run when I need to and wait out the debuff.

way easier to ride out the Venom 2 debuff. most combos ending in c.grab will eat up most of the debuff, if not the whole thing
 
The mix ups are there " kinda "... The damage is there " well with venom " but I feel like he's WAY too easy to bait on reaction. While KF has a slide that's safe, full screen pretty much, and is really unreactable, Banes only way of getting in is his charge which makes characters like KF and Batman a nightmare to fight against. Granted, his dash is better but in terms of zoning just hope you have luck on your side xD.
