i like the basic idea, but be serious. tumblr supplanted lj as the top fandomy space for a reason. their interface is complete shit for rping, but when it comes to imageposting, they're at the top of their game. the interface is also good for posting simple drabbles, which 99% of the time is all the average fandomy person wants to read or write
moving fandom "back" to dw would be a long row to hoe. for one thing, it was never really here on dw (it migrated from lj around the same time we did). fandom communities here are... well, i won't call them "non-existent", but i think you could use "ephemeral" and maintain accuracy. i've certainly never seen one.
i could be wrong, but i would guess the "unrest" you're seeing is just tumblrinas tumblrinaing. the lj exodus happened because lj initiated a series of very unwise decisions in a very short time (release 88, the snubbings, basically everything igrick touched); unless tumblr is dumb enough to do the same (IF ONLY), i see fandom stating right there where it is. people don't make a change unless the status quo is no longer satisfactory for whatever reason
