He's taking a shot less than last year. He's sitting at 14.8 right now compared to the 16 he averaged last season. Dirk is sitting at 16.4 compared to the 17 he averaged last season.
He's done the 2 things people wanted from him offensively this season. Drive to the basket and make his 3 pointers at/near the clip he did last season. He's sitting at 44% right now compared to the 40% he shot last season.
Here's a breakdown of the shot attempts thus far:
Dirk-82 (16.4)
Fin-74 (14.8)
Terry-51 (10.2) off the bench
Stackhouse-48 (9.6) off the bench
Daniels-34 (6.8) off the bench
Dampier-37 (7.4)
Howard-37 (7.4)
Harris-32 (6.4)

If Fin keeps playing aggressively when he gets back, I don't have much of an issue with his attempts.
With Dirk, I want to see more of the offense running through him. No, that doesn't necessarily mean more shot attempts, but the offense looks best at this point with the ball going through him.
