Narrative:

Dallas ft worth requested and required departure instructions of 'climb and maintain 4000' by 2 DME for traffic.' although this is a somewhat unusual departure instruction my squadron had received this instruction and complied with it a couple of times in the past week. I elected to take the departure and in complying, ended up with a 40 degree nose up climb attitude and a 50-60 degree angle of bank unloaded recovery. Although this maneuver is no problem performance wise, it could be perceived as acrobatic flight in a control zone. My commanding officer is informing dfw that we will no longer accept this departure instruction for the above reasons.
