depends on the audience

Should they be? No. People are paying to see you do a DJ set .. not a production set. If you have good production skills and are a shit DJ (James Holden of past) you shouldn't be getting booked to DJ, however with good productions comes high sales and notoriety which leads to name recognition which leads to more people coming out to the club to see the DJ because they recognize their name as the producer of a neat song they heard.

If they know how to mix and throw down a good set, yes. If they're going to trainwreck while bumming the crap out of their own productions, then no.

In the short version, no but it happens anyway

You'll have to wait a long time for most DJs to be able to play 70 minutes of their own music.

No. Nor should producers' tracks be signed solely because of the merit of their DJing.

You mean most Producers to DJ most of their music....and the usual suspects are actually in a race to see which one of them can do it first.

no. if you're a smart club owner then you would go for popularity.
