I use it a lot for power leveling people. you cast that a few times on a group of mobs and you'll keep absolute aggro until they die. I'll pull 20 or so mobs, slow them a few times, then let whoever i am PL'ing, kill them. it's not as efficient as single pulling stuff and blinding them to keep aggro, but it's much easier on low level mobs.
I also use it quite a bit in fear/hate when large groups are constantly being pulled. It's much more efficient than single targeting everything. the difference in the slow rate % compared to how fast the mobs die is pretty negligible... IE, they die so fast, it really doesn't make a huge difference in how much more damage the tank is taking.
at 60 with max xp, i mem it sometimes as a sacrifice for the good of the raid/group. sometimes, just sometimes.... if you pull everything on to yourself and die, you'll give the group enough time to handle the situation, or at least evac/gate. if you can at least save the cleric, it's xp well lost. it doesn't always work, but you're probably going to die anyways, so what the hell. if you can get torpor up, you can last a decent span of time usually.
