Incorrect ! Not all baangs are spheres when they are formed, what form a baang takes on generally depends on the user (Quaetro, Anak, Pandit and Ha Yura have non-spherical baangs). Not to mention, baangs are just collections of shinsoo and the prerequisite for performing any shinsoo-based technique so what shape they are is irrelevant. Also, for the baangs that do appear spherical, they aren't a perfect circle/sphere since the focus is on collecting the shinsoo rather than shaping it. Thus Beam Cannon can be distinguished from a beam originating from a person's baang. Also, we saw that Mule Love formed the sphere in his hands before he threw it. So, even if the end effect may appear to come out the same, the method for producing the effect differs. Viole probably did copy the technique, but just hasn't used it for the reasons you mentioned hahaha.

There's too much we don't know about Dansul for you to say this seems like a Dansul technique. It's a perfect circle that allows someone to move at high speed, it's probably one of the most basic applications of Wonsul you can get.

But you're making Wonsul sound like a purely offensive skill. There are lots of potential ways you could use Wonsul defensively or for support. And, like I mentioned above, while rotation generally infers a circular motion this is not strictly true. A chainsaw blade rotates, but is it circular ? You're thinking purely in terms of rotation and increase of power while Wonsul is much more than that. A circle/sphere gives the least surface area to volume so it is the most efficient, compact shape i.e. greater strength. Circular/Spherical shape gives strength, rotation gives power/destructiveness. An arrow that is rotating will definitely have increased penetrative power, but the strength of the actual arrow remains the same. This is what I'm getting at. Wonsul increases strength not power. And yes, there is a difference, so I'll use this example for example's sake:


 * A wooden arrow is not going to penetrate a slab of rock because wood is not 'strong' enough. Adding rotation will definitely increase the wooden arrow's penetrative 'power', but that wooden arrow still won't penetrate the rock because wood simply isn't 'strong' enough. Now if we were to use a steel arrow, there's now a chance that the rock will be penetrated because steel is strong enough.

So yes I do mainly assume the focus on the shape (perfect circle) and thus the effect the shape has (greater strength with same amount of myun and soo). I'll reiterate than in the case of Wonsul, strength and power are different. Wonsul increases strength of potential techniques from them having circular/spherical form; rotation is merely a manipulation of forces to increase something's penetrative/grinding/destructive power.
