Slight change made and replaced the file. I had an unnecessary Render Layer to Image node in there for some reason.
I took a look at the comp and it looks good. Your DOF seems less "fake" than a lot of the DOF you see being faked. At least it's real variable blur that's good quality and seems fast and responsive to work with.
I released a Tilt-Shift DOF simulation effect for Final Cut Pro a few months ago. Mine uses a combination of a Quartz Composer based FxPlug and Apple Motion. I was able to repurpose onscreen UI widgets from the stock effects that come with Motion to give it a decent UI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdk-f1rJLpo, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iL3X0Cs9-s
