    Generally speaking, its because:
    1) the pulled pack size is pathetically small and not worth interruption you dps rotation.
    2) not using it on a boss in the hopes of a not pathetically too small pull that an aoe lb is worth more on. which would overlap maybe 1/8 earning of a full bar
    3) playing the is it worth it to wait game on the final boss. If the lb bar hits a full 2 at 17% in a dungeon your dps have bigger problems than remembering to use the lb at all.

    I forget about it. That's why. As a caster, most tanks don't pull big enough for me to use it. I need at least 3-4 trash mobs packs for me to justify to use it as a caster. 2 pack mobs is not grand enough.

    Because unless it's an LB3, it's generally a dps loss to suspend my rotation long enough to do it. Or at least that was the case of every melee dps back in 3.x, and while it's a habit I've developed, it's not one I'm entirely sure I want to abandon without knowing how the current melee work.

    I usually do it, unless it's a fight where it's better if a healer does it..... like the Menagerie.

    I main a melee, and I always try to use LB instead of wasting it. Yet sometimes, in dungeons, even I forget it,
    or I decide to save the LB for the caster if we have one to use it on a big pull instead.
    But I'll have to say, it's kind of annoying if some people literally spam the chat with "LB! LB! LB! LB!"...
    Especially in ex fights, I will try to wait for the right moment.
    Believe me guys, I will LB3 the boss, but not when a big mechanic is about to happen that will probably kill me if I stand in it.

    I guess because people don't care to use it or forget. Limit Break isn't all that great really.
    The only real use is for melee to hurry to end the boss. The rest is lackluster
    and healers never use it. Also, people whine and cry if you use it on a mob when most of this
    game can be cheese'd through lol. It shaves off a bit of time but it's not that much worth writing home about.

    To be honest, sometimes I forget, but I try to LB at 15-25% if I do remember.

    Also, the most efficient way of using LB is on a huge trash pack, not the melee DPS using it, but that depends on the tank.

    I guess it's because so many melees don't use it at all, the good ones like you suffer.

    Here is the thing. In the current dungeons, there are no huge trash pulls with 4 or more groups. Maybe Kugane castle, but those come in waves.

    I always use LB on trash pulls. Bosses die fast and LB when it's almost dead is so minimal, while aoeing trash pulls makes us reach bosses faster. Not to mention people always ignore LB so whatevs, haven't received a complaint yet c:
