It depends on pricing, content, gameplay and storyline.
For example the DLCs for Asura's Wrath and Alien Isolation should have been included in the main game because to me they are crucial to the main storyline.
If the DLC contains gameplay that is quite different from the main game, perhaps it only features driving or some kind of horde-mode, then I'd say it justifies a DLC. Especially if it features gameplay that the majority of gamers would not be interested in.
Examples of good DLCs for me would include those from GTA 4; they were separate stories and had a good amount of content for the pricing. Generally if a DLC approaches the level of content of an expansion, its a good DLC.
