In some fights, you use the ability on cooldown. Unless hate resets at any point, there really isn't a reason to save it. There are some exceptions. Some WHM, for example, prefer to save their Shroud for when sisters are coming in a Garuda party. Healers are infamous for grabbing hate early on and if a WHM pops Shroud when they spawn, it makes the fight much easier.
