"they could point your bank or anything site to any address that they want"
Of course they couldn't. Unless you're stupid enough to do your online banking without worrying about ssl.
The trust you need to give them is that they won't do dumb things with the incorrect or phishing urls. Personally, I would never use OpenDNS because of this. You just don't mess with a protocol as established and important as dns. Maybe, maayybee if it were used only for web browsing but that's obviously not the case.
