Plus, with the higher rpm, the hole tends to be slightly over sized. If you're using a 3/64 pin and a 3/64 drill bit, it's going to be a super-tight fit, and you may not get the pin in.
Pin vice for plastic drilling all the way, of course.

I've never had an issue on any piece of metal, even old lead models.
Now, I won't Dremel a Malifaux mini. Their joins are just too small, and I'm not THAT good with a Dremel. On those, I use my hand drill.
On chunky metal, though, like Space Marines, I'd use it even on hands. Of course, not everyone is as steady handed as I am. If you're not able to hold your Dremel straight and/or can't be patient enough to start slowly, then yeah - you should probably not use a Dremel (probably not at all).
