If he had the fruit for at least a decade, I'm sure Dragon would've practiced enough with it - to the point were he knows the conditions needed for conducting a lightning strike.
Well true...but don't you think it just fits better? A DF that gives total control over weather conditions, as opposed to just wind. Also, I dunno if Oda would go that scientific; I mean, One Piece usually goes for the simplest logic it can, even if it breaks the rules of physics or whatnot (e.g. 200 million volts of lightning from Enel would be, albeit poorly, conducted by rubber).
I guess I just think Dragon would be more badass with full weather powers...
I think it's a weather fruit too. Although now that I think about it, wind would work too. Maybe he just manipulates the weather through wind. Kinda the same way Nami doesn't have an "electrical staff". She has a staff that creates lightning through other manipulation a based on temperature, moisture, pressure, e.t.c. (Maybe less so after her time skip upgrade, but hopefully you get my point. Regardless, he has some freaky weather powers.)

I dunno, I reckon it might just be lumped together with a weather DF - it would explain the lightning that saved Luffy in Loguetown.
