As for weaponized floodgates, I just found thanks to a cyclop that they make pretty effective passive building destroyer traps. The unfortunate experiment involved a half finished drowning chamber, a wandering cyclop and a chute (intended as a sink down to the caverns). The beast destroyed the floodgate and got washed into the hole; only question now is how to plug an aquifer-fed waterfall without access to magma...

If there's undug rock or soil above you can cave a tile of it into the chute, build a new floodgate after it, and then channel it out from above to reopen.  Just make sure there's a wall under where you do the drop or you'll flood whatever's underneath. 

Or you could build a pump stack from the magma sea.
