My Gale mostly uses lv3 counterspell unless I'm seeing a really deadly spell cast, and for the most part it often succeeds. You're probably having bad luck. Granted, most of my usage has been in Act 3 and by then your characters are decked out in a bunch of +1/2 DC enhancement gear plus rocking 20-22 of their main stat.
