Do DMR's in AR starts count as Power Weapons?
No. I think any weapon that you can shoot/slash a Spartan with once and kill him while he has full health and shields qualifies as a power weapon.

But seriously, bad for playing the way Reach encourages you to play? I can agree with that.
I don't see how it encourages that. Maybe the people you play with/against encourage it. I barely ever pick up power weapons unless I just stumble upon them, and I still manage to get what I call a decent K/D spread in most games. I have friends who do amazing work with the DMR, get amazing K/D spreads with it constantly, and almost seem to avoid power weapons completely. If you spawn, and just have to go get that sniper rifle or that rocket launcher; if you need a weapon that will do that much damage in order for you to do decently: you're bad. It's a matter of opinion, though, I don't think I need to tell you that.
