I've done a bit of work with both DWR and Dojo, so... DWR is really fantastic in terms of being really easy and clean to write to. It makes remote calls to the server look like nothing more than function calls to a local Javascript object. Really sweet.
But, that's all it is. While that's great (I'm a fan of DWR if you couldn't guess!) it doesn't provide a component model for building widgets, as Dojo does. It doesn't inherently have anything to say about that. You *could* of course build widgets with DWR, but it would require coming up with your own component model, and all the plumbing that goes into that. Dojo already has that. My feeling is that DWR is more advanced in terms of just doing AJAX. But, when you start talking about GUI widgets specifically, Dojo has a big leg up IMO. I'm not sure what that really says about either library's place in SAF2 though...
