So they obviously exist and destroy any mortals that gaze upon them (or in the area for Titans). They have been used to destroy foes before (Hera's Rage). So why did the Titans not simply use them in the first series?

I understand Atlas not particularly wanting to risk destroying Luke or possibly a prophesy child. that makes sense. We could stretch Hyperion to not wanting to kill Percy (why anyone would think that is beyond me though) and we know that Ares certainly wasn't supposed to kill Percy either.

In saying that though couldn't Krios have absolutely murdered the Romans? Do they give off a challenge to the gods in the world so that it was better to fight demigods as opposed to full blown gods? Is it just pride? Are they more vulnerable and have their conscience scattered? Plot?

I really hope it's not just narrative plot so that events don't just mean demigods would in reality die horribly.
