I've never seen him do it in DBZ

That's because after that first time, he never does it again.

It would be pretty useful. He could go hand to hand with two arms and fire the tribeam at the same time. He could grab his opponent and then hit them with point blank ki attacks.

Gohan is a piece of poo poo that doesn't train. He will not be the super cool fight man ever again. He gave up achieving self-perfection through martial arts and cannot even protect his own family.

Agreed, the last special was crap; but what universe is this one going to be from? Guessing the universe where Freeza destroyed Namek, but that one seemed to resolve itself, with all of the people on Namek getting wasted.

After having watched the Resurrection of F film.. with the world being blown up, had it not been for the time traveling ability of Weiss , why don't the Z warriors keep a better lock on the Dragon Balls? Collect all of them and hide them in Kami's lookout, if that thing wasn't destroyed? The have the potential to destroy the planet on their own, when collected. Collect the Dragon Balls and wish Beerus out of existence.

I don't know where it's mentioned but you can't use the dragon balls to directly affect someone else (without their permission). It's pretty murky but remember at one point Goku refused to be wished to Earth. Again, I don't know the specifics because I can't explain how all the people from Namek got moved to Earth without their permission, they didn't seem to know why it happened.

yes exactly

his involvement with this specific part of the show is vague and unclear, at best, other than a general "Story" credit

we know he's doing designs and plotting out stuff for the new content but he's not a credited writer on any of these episodes

CAN Gohan even train to get stronger? Because of the Old Kai's upgrade, isn't Gohan that strongest he can ever be now (baring something liking gaining God Ki)?

He's gotten weak from basically muscle atrophy. He can get back to how strong he was, but right now? He's weaker.

Besides, he's had his "potential unlocked" like twice or something.

They've specifically stated he's gotten weaker because he's slacked in keeping his training up. The kid's not at 100% anymore.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
I think a lot of people forget that unlocking your potential can wear off if you don't maintain it. It's simple muscle atrophy. Gohan isn't the fighter he used to be, won't ever be again, and doesn't really want to be anyway.

Gohan will have a Vegeta moment when the villain hits Videl but instead of hurting the villain he'll just break his fist on the guy's face. After that he'll sink into a deep depression and alcoholism. He'll be the wacky drunk joke character for the rest of the show. In the last arc of the show there will be a scene of Yamcha telling Gohan to stay out of the battle because it's too dangerous for him before he flies off to do battle leaving Gohan behind.
