There are some other practical uses.

a) Stand on the front lines, defend while your missile-weapon buddies 
shoot (or pole-weapon buddies jab) over your shoulder. This can be 
particularly effective for a character who has burdened himself with 
enough armor that his DX is in the cellar.

b) Recover from a 5-point hit last turn, then strike next turn when 
your adjDX is back up. Likewise for Dazzle, or other temporary 
effects.

c) increase your odds of surviving the pike-ax charge attack, then 
hit before he can disengage next turn.
