The DOF needs a high amount of rays for grain to get less.
For most people 64 rays reduces grain to acceptable levels, but if you really want someting supersmooth you'll have to go with even higher settings.
However, if you have photoshop, i'd definitely go for the lens blur filter like ThunderStone said, it just requires so much less rendering time to render without DOF.
